    Carnal Knowledge is a movie that almost lives up to it's brilliant title. [08 Jul 1971, p.34]

    Ultimately, McCabe and Mrs Miller shapes up as a half baked masterpiece with a kind of gutsy gradeur. It's personal as all-get-out, and I thought that's what everyone had been screaming for all these years. [08 Jul 1971, p.49]
