100% Fresh Tomatoes - Critics Tomatometer
Some movies keep you guessing. Some movies make you care. Once in a long while a movie comes along that does both things at the same time. It's not easy.
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Regardless of what is known -- or not known -- about plot details, however, the movie will still reward its viewers with a thought-provoking, superbly-rendered one-hundred ten minutes.
- James Berardinelli, Reelviews
An astonishingly good and daring film that richly develops several intertwined thematic lines, "The Crying Game" takes giant risks that are stunningly rewarded.
- Todd McCartney, Variety.com
Now wildly overrated, but a very good little mystery story.
- Jeffrey M. Anderson, San Francisco Examiner
Extremely original masterpiece in British cinema.
