James A @Droz27 5d Disappointed in this supposed classic. From the opening scene, I didn't buy Faye or Warren as poor southerners. Their accents were terrible and they were too old for the roles, she looked like a 35 year old moviestar not a 20 year old waitress. Gene Hackman was just as bad, Hollywood actors simply cannot pretend to be street people they have never interacted with irl, let alone southerners. There isn't even a romance between them, just multiple love scenes ending in erectile dysfunction. Nothing feels authentic or realistic, and Hackman's wife is so annoying and looks just like the kid they pick up.

Warren Beatty & Faye Dunaway are brilliant in the lead roles, playing the criminals with the perfect mix of charm and viciousness (they clearly love being bank robbers, even when the kill cops to do so). Behind the camera, Arthur Penn crafts a brutal crime film that doesn't glamorize Bonnie & Clyde, as they clearly are robbing banks for their own enjoyment and not out of a Robin Hood mentality (despite saying to the contrary). His violence is brutal for the time and even today, since despite their actions, you do care for them in the end, at least to a certain extent. A true classic and a pivotal moment in Hollywood's history. See more paul o @Paulo190408 Feb 23 Very dated now and pretty boring.

She seriously has better writing than female characters in some modern-day stories. The film’s way of presenting the slow corrosion of the two criminals lives as they delve deeper into their addiction was astonishing. As the expressions left by some of the character’s family and friends and the way death is portrayed in the film has a silent and haunting atmosphere that can only really be found in older films. However, the film did have some pacing issues as it was a little hard to keep track of when exactly certain scenes were taking place in the timeline. It probably would have helped if they had shown more of the progression of their popularity as criminals by showcasing more of the local publicity and newspaper articles that were often talked about but not shown very well in the film.
