Review of Venus (2006)

By Jack Garner (583) for Rochester Democrat and Chronicle (558) on 09 Feb 2007

Venus oozes charm and life and even a bit of touching sadness…

Review of Venus (2006)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 09 Feb 2007

O'Toole spent so many years being better than the little material that he was offered that it's heartening to see him sprint toward the finish…

Review of Venus (2006)

By Lexi Feinberg (95) for CinemaBlend.com (1,378) on 06 Feb 2007

Venus is well-acted but unsatisfying. It seems to exist mainly as a last-ditch effort to push O'Toole toward the podium…

Review of Venus (2006)

By Joshua Rothkopf (1,058) for Time Out (7,510) on 03 Feb 2007

If only [director] Michell's film actually said something about aging, and didn't feel the need to include Grumpy Old Men shtick and bland…

Review of Venus (2006)

By Stephanie Zacharek (2,333) for Salon.com (2,725) on 03 Feb 2007

Venus belongs to O'Toole…

Review of Venus (2006)

By Duane Dudek (861) for Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (1,693) on 02 Feb 2007

What Venus lacks as a work of consequence it makes up for with the performance of Peter O' Toole in a role he was born 74 years ago to play…

Review of Venus (2006)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 02 Feb 2007

O'Toole manages to appear mischievous without succumbing to cuteness and formidable without seeming pretentious…

Review of Venus (2006)

By Phil Villarreal (1,289) for Arizona Daily Star (983) on 01 Feb 2007

In her own way, Whittaker is as strong as O'Toole, and the chemistry they develop forges a heartbreaking bond…

Review of Venus (2006)

By Jeanne Aufmuth (581) for Palo Alto Weekly (965) on 31 Jan 2007

Peter O'Toole crafts a May-December romance with geriatric fervor and large dollop of self-effacing humor…

Review of Venus (2006)

By Mark Kermode (1,002) for BBC Radio Five Live (13) on 29 Jan 2007

Roger Michel knows how to do People-in-Rooms better than most directors do, but the joys of it really are the performances and it's worth seeing…

Review of Venus (2006)

By Mark Adams (368) for Sunday Mirror (UK) (89) on 28 Jan 2007

A witty and delicately handled faltering romance. Delightful…

Review of Venus (2006)

By Boo Allen (301) for Denton Record-Chronicle (383) on 27 Jan 2007

Paraphrasing Henry, white hairs well become this fool and jester…

Review of Venus (2006)

By Philip Kemp (186) for Total Film (3,532) on 26 Jan 2007

A gentle, funny and melancholy look at the ravages of age and time, with an irresistible star performance at its heart. Oscar prospects, surely…

Review of Venus (2006)

By Terry Lawson (645) for Detroit Free Press (942) on 26 Jan 2007

Venus is emotionally affecting, not because O'Toole's Maurice is coping with mortality, but because of the honest way he confronts it…

Review of Venus (2006)

By Mario Tarradell (36) for Dallas Morning News (1,592) on 26 Jan 2007

The film gives Mr. O'Toole all the space he needs to prove that his craft is still fresh and virile…

Review of Venus (2006)

By Bill Muller (519) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 26 Jan 2007

With his intelligent and soulful performance, O'Toole reminds us exactly why he has been nominated for eight Oscars…

Review of Venus (2006)

By Derek Malcolm (772) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 26 Jan 2007

Even performances as good as these can't totally transcend material that hovers between near farce and tragi-comedy without ever landing on…

Review of Venus (2006)

By Johnny Vaughan (40) for The Sun (UK) (932) on 26 Jan 2007

You never know - it might just be eighth time lucky for the old dog come the Oscars…

Review of Venus (2006)

By David Edwards (979) for Daily Mirror (UK) (1,133) on 26 Jan 2007

Although a little contrived in places, and with some dialogue that probably looked better on the page, this is still enjoyable fare that proves…

Review of Venus (2006)

By Christopher Tookey (761) for Daily Mail (UK) (1,461) on 26 Jan 2007

Not even O'Toole can salvage this script…
