The best and most touchingly personal of all Shakespeare adaptations, CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT is pervaded by melancholy and loneliness, even though its characters are almost seen never alone. -- Grade: A
A.V. Club
See it on the big screen if you can; for all of its flaws it's a glory.

Wall Street Journal
Quite likely the greatest Shakespearean film ever.

Christian Science Monitor
The film is wonderful and exasperating, the work of a genius, the reflections of an egotist, delicious utterances of great language and muddied speeches in other instances.

Cleveland Press
In this film, [Orson] Welles is bigger than life, literally and figuratively.

Movies and Shakers
Welles gives a mammoth performance as the Bard’s tragic fool Falstaff....It’s a feast for the ears, eyes, and soul. -- Grade: A
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 3.5/4 --
One can feel Welles' energy and passion, but there is a sense of regret that hangs over Chimes at Midnight that is impossible to ignore, as if Falstaff has become a metaphor for Welles himself.
