Reviews
The Times
Kevin Maher
“Collating 265,000 words of the most dense and allusive prose in the English language, Strick has transformed James Joyce’s often impenetrable novel into 130 minutes of witty, dreamy and often surreal cinema.”

Leo Robson
“Strick reworks Joyce’s novel into a farce about sexual frustration and religious intolerance, while retaining an impressive amount of Joyce’s structure, dialogue and narration.”

The Guardian
Peter Bradshaw
“In 1967, the American film-maker Joseph Strick took a bold and high-minded stab at the ultimate unfilmable book: Joyce's Ulysses. Inevitably, it's a disappointment, though watched again now for this rerelease, it doesn't seem as much of a disappointment as all that. Milo O'Shea gives a very decent performance as Leopold Bloom: he is dignified, vulnerable, sensitive and tragicomic. However, Maurice Roëves's Stephen Dedalus is flat and uninteresting...”

The Observer
Philip French
“His censor-challenging feature films of Joyce's Ulysses and Miller's Tropic of Cancer were made like documentaries.”
