The anachronistic brio which distinguishes Forman's style is in pleasurable evidence, the approach to the subject is very much his own, and it's worth seeing if you forget all about the original.

Directed by Milos Forman, this film is livelier, more absorbing, and generally better acted than Dangerous Liaisons, which arrived a year ago. But it runs out of inspiration long before it runs out of plot twists.
February 09, 2015
Milos Forman and Jean-Claude Carriere, while fiddling with the plot of this deliciously nasty tale, have studiously embalmed its spirit.

Valmont plays like a period sex romp, its concerns reduced to the level of who sleeps with whom and who gets dumped.

The results are too pretty and well acted to be a total washout, but the fascination with evil and power that gives the novel intensity is virtually absent; what remains is mainly petty malice and mild cynicism.

An unqualified dud.

Colin Firth's Valmont is pleasant, a dreadful thing to say about one of literature's most magnetic seducers.
February 09, 2015
Insufficiently racy in tone as well as pacing, this accomplished but bland costume drama is Dangerous Liaisons' poor cousin.
February 09, 2015
Because there are no characters animating his panorama, all this serves to prove is that though Forman's movie is broader than Frears', it is also shallower.

The effect is like an ermine violin: It is beautiful to look at, but it doesn't play.

Valmont is a superb piece of craftsmanship, impeccable in every detail from lighting to costuming, but as a work of art it remains tentative and blurred.

What keeps the film interesting, if not riveting, is the generally on target casting and resulting topnotch interpretations.
