Rating: 9/10 --
A classic not just of literary adaptation, but of the last truly adventurous era in British and European filmmaking.

Antagony & Ecstasy
Rating: 4/5 --
It was always arch, overlong and uncertain of tone, but nevertheless very funny and extraordinarily bawdy.

Radio Times
It's a free-wheeling, fast-moving relic from a time when "bawdy" wasn't bad and sex comedies still celebrated sex.

Los Angeles Times
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.

Chicago Reader
A fast-paced, tongue-in-cheek movie about an engaging foundling.

New York Daily News
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.

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