ReviewsChicago Sun-Times - ...OTHELLO exhibits Welles' flair for dramatic compositions....Always visually interesting..., Entertainment Weekly - "...Visually stunning....One of Welles' purest, most straightforward masterpieces..." -- Rating: A, USA Today - "...From Suzanne Cloutier's Desdemona to the noir-ish black-and-white photography, OTHELLO ranks with Olivier's RICHARD III and Branagh's HENRY V as the most immediate screen Bard yet..." -- 4 out of 4 stars, New York Times - ...Like Welles, his OTHELLO roars for itself....[This film] has a magnificent screen life of its own...
