Not for the purists, maybe, but the last half-hour, as Firmin plunges ever deeper into his self-created hell, leaves one shell-shocked.

Time Out
[Finney's] Geoffrey Firmin is one of the most unnervingly and heartbreakingly convincing alcoholics ever capture on film...

The movie belongs to Finney, but mention must be made of Jacqueline Bisset as his wife and Anthony Andrews as his half-brother.

Rating: B- --
John Huston's version of Malcolm Lowry's dense, poetic unfilmable book is ambitious but only semi-effective in conveying this cult novel's tone; it's ultimately saved by the towering performance of Albert Finney as the alcoholic self-destructive consul

Rating: B- --
Succeeds in capturing the novel's sense of doom and gets a tour de force performance from Albert Finney.
