Top CriticFor a movie that revels in its very artificiality, And the Ship Sails On possesses an astonishing emotional resonance in its last scenes.
09/22/09
Veers from the tedious to the fascinating.
02/27/09
The picture is worth watching, if only for the scenes with the rhino and the lengthy opening sequence, which begins as a scratchy, sepia-toned silent film that gradually but gloriously develops into a colorful sound picture.

Can be seen as a highly imaginative history lesson of the passing of an era
07/23/03
[The film] is to most movies what the Folies-Bergere was to the theater, a celebration of spectacle, even when it exists only for its own sake.

A lesser Fellini is still much greater than most of the product presented for our consumption.
01/01/00
Obviously, it isn't the intellectual content that's meant to carry the picture, but even Fellini's elaborate visuals seem timid and uninspired this time around.
