February 06, 2013
Impeccably liberal, weirdly restrained and, aside from anything else, a fascinating historical document.
February 06, 2013
If it now appears quaintly old-fashioned in its attitudes and assumptions, it still impresses thanks to Dirk Bogarde's performance.
February 06, 2013
Immensely significant in its plea for tolerance for gay men (interestingly, lesbianism is not discussed here), Victim works hard arguing that gays are part of the typical, healthy fabric of society.
August 12, 2014
Though a tad dated and tame by today's standards, this 1961 drama was not only ground-breaking in its depiction of homosexuality, but it also marked the occasion when Dirk Bogarde broke free from his popular matinée idol image.
February 06, 2013
The intensity of Bogarde's performance, not least where he confesses to wife Sylvia Syms his homosexual desires, transcends the film's well-intentioned cautiousness.
May 09, 2005
The very fact that homosexuality as a condition is presented honestly and unsensationally, with due regard for the dilemma and the pathos, makes this an extraordinary film.
February 06, 2013
What a gripping film -- melodramatic and self-conscious, yes, but forthright and bold.
February 06, 2013
[Victim] has a careful performance by Bogarde, and it pursues with eloquence and conviction the case against an antiquated statute.
August 12, 2004
Recent critics find Victim timid in its treatment of homosexuality, but viewed in the context of Great Britain in 1961, it's a film of courage.
March 13, 2015
[Victim] is a snapshot of social history that has dated in the past 40 years. But it is well worth watching for Dirk Bogarde's superb performance.
January 26, 2006
There are many pleasures to be found in the quirky ing cast, expressive, noir-style lighting and an effectively suspenseful opening.
February 27, 2009
Bogarde is subtle, sensitive and strong. Syms handles a difficult role with delicacy.
