Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Apr 4, 2018
The Salome film proves a chilling and watchable look at lust, power, reprisal and decadence that, along with Wilde Salome, validates [Al] Pacino's obsessive interest in Wilde's still-resonant play Go to Full Review
Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter Mar 30, 2018
Intriguing as a work of interpretive risk-taking but captivating for its title performance. Go to Full Review
Dan Mecca The Film Stage Apr 4, 2018

As a companion to the documentary, it is the fascinating result of what [Al] Pacino himself seems to consider a creative failure. Go to Full Review
Budd Wilkins Film Journal International Mar 29, 2018
Al Pacino's film adaptation of Oscar Wilde's Salomé benefits considerably from uniformly strong performances and some consummate technical craftsmanship. Go to Full Review

Wilde Salom only offers a very basic look into Wilde's life, and the staging of Salom is distinctly uninspired. The combination of Pacino and Chastain, however, results in plenty to enjoy, however flawed the project may be. Go to Full Review
