Rating: 9/10 -- A classic not just of literary adaptation, but of the last truly adventurous era in British and European filmmaking. Full Review
Antagony & Ecstasy
Jul 8, 2008
Rating: 4/5 -- It was always arch, overlong and uncertain of tone, but nevertheless very funny and extraordinarily bawdy. Full Review

It's a free-wheeling, fast-moving relic from a time when "bawdy" wasn't bad and sex comedies still celebrated sex. Full Review
Los Angeles Times
Jan 14, 2014
Despite the fitful energy and the beauty of the settings, the ugliness of the mise en scene and the crudity of the editing tend to triumph. Full Review
Chicago Reader
Dec 13, 2006
A fast-paced, tongue-in-cheek movie about an engaging foundling. Full Review

The film is a way-out, walleyed, wonderful exercise in cinema. It is also a social satire written in blood with a broadaxe. It is bawdy as the British were bawdy when a wench had to wear five petticoats to barricade her virtue. Full Review

Tony Richardson's Tom Jones took Henry Fielding's bawdy picaresque and updated it for a new generation. Full Review
