Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
Judex's pacing is syrupy and its tone hazy, like a halting, half-remembered dream of a movie that may have never existed.

The Dissolve
As a hero, Judex may cut a somewhat dull figure once his true face has been revealed, but Franju has set him within a haunting shadow-world where vengeance is too strange to be sweet.

Film International
Rating: 3/4 --
Franju's lack of serious coaching in the acting department shows how little he cared for things like motivation and subtlety. Instead he gets his kicks fashioning surreal set pieces that transcend the melodrama that the plot seems designed to support.

[W]ith Franju's quasi-surrealist sensibility giving it the texture of a particularly delirious dream.
Sight and Sound
A luminous, haunting adventure.

The Spectator
Rating: 7/10 --
In shaving off 210 minutes or so, Franju eliminates all the backstory along with any concern for motivation or logic.

Movie Metropolis
Nostalgic homage to Louis Feuillade's silent serials.
