Peter Sellers gives a stellar performance.

Hal Ashby's satirical parable on the way the USA surrenders itself to homespun evangelicalism gives Peter Sellers the role of a lifetime.

A highly unusual and an unusually fine film.
Common Sense Media

Amazingly poignant performance by Peter Sellers.
October 31, 2007
No one seems to know what to do with the allegorical undertone of Jerzy Kosinski's script, but as a whole this 1979 film maintains a fine level of wit, sophistication, and insight.

Even in a chilly movie like this, deaths have resonance (whether they're on camera, or off).

Sellers has never been better and he embellishes the detached, childlike innocence of this character with perfect style and timing. It's a deceptively simple performance, but it is essentially the core and substance of the film.

The movie's main effect is to confirm how versatile Sellers has always been.

A Gumpish plot? Perhaps, but Being There is much more subtle and enigmatic than that.

Here is a comedy that valiantly defies both gravity and the latest Hollywood fashion.

Hal Ashby directs Being There at an unruffled, elegant pace, the better to let Mr. Sellers's double-edged mannerisms make their full impression upon the audience.
