The definitive time capsule of mid-'60s swinging London. [05 Dec 2003]
It never pierces beneath the frivolous surface of the insular society it creates and it is this peculiar lack of drama, doubt or mystery that marks it out as a curio, certainly in reflection of contemporaneous masterpieces by Godard or Antonioni. Where Darling does feel vital and pertinent is in its treatment of celebrity as a goal unto itself, something to be coveted at all costs.

The film's chief distinction is Julie Christie; she's extraordinary--petulant, sullen, and very beautiful.
