Reviews:

Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid, n.d.

Aguirre remains a treasure. It's a glimpse into a visionary's mind. It's a passionate love/hate poem to the jungle and to Klaus Kinski. It's an incredible statement about the nature of man. And it's as potent today as the day it opened.

Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, August 17, 2001

Here is a true classic, a gem from an era of high-wire cinema of breathtaking ambition—a film about a folie de grandeur , the making of which has passed into cinema lore as hardly less daring, and hardly less mad, than its subject matter.

Vincent Canby, New York Times, April 4, 1977

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times, n.d.

Phillip French, The Observer, August 19, 2001

Ingo Petzke, Senses of Cinema, February 2002
