For me, Sunday, Bloody Sunday is far and away the best film John Schlesinger has ever made: the surest, the truest, the most uncluttered.

| Jun 2, 2020

A most impressive achievement, superbly edited by its maker into a whole that is almost as satisfactory as its parts.

Sunday Bloody Sunday is the song of those left behind, not the one doing the leaving.

Too often, its adultness makes it seem as remote as the bed-hopping artiste at the center of this mess.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 16, 2020

It's a strikingly acted, discombobulating watch that will arouse nostalgia for decadent hippies and rubbish central heating.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 16, 2020

John Schlesinger's Sunday Bloody Sunday is a low-keyed, delicately-poised recital of triangular love in which Glenda Jackson and Peter Finch share the affections of AC-DC Murray Head.

| Mar 26, 2009

Performances of great sensitivity from the Oscar-nominated Jackson and Finch, who keep their passions buried beneath a hair-shirt of civility.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 1, 2009

Bloody Sunday is a classic example of a film running out of control at every moment...

I think Sunday Bloody Sunday is a masterpiece, but I don't think it's about what everybody else seems to think it's about. This is not a movie about the loss of love, but about its absence.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Oct 23, 2004

"Sunday Bloody Sunday," on the other hand, is told with economy, wit and precision, almost entirely within the present tense of small and large confrontations.

The director, John Schlesinger, has no real cinematic sense; he just picks a tone and a look and lets the action unwind.
