Regardless of the historical inaccuracies and contestable portrayals, the film is a flourishing masterpiece of storytelling prowess.

National Review

Fresh

Allowances for changing tastes and styles must be made for many a film from decades past; that is not the case with Lawrence, which remains as invigorating as the night it was first shown.

ABC Radio (Australia)

Fresh

Lawrence, as portrayed by Peter O'Toole with a career-making and career-defining performance, is one of cinema's most fascinatingly complex characters.

Maclean's Magazine

Fresh

Seldom if ever in motion-picture history has a long-delayed, big-budget "epic" so fully measured up to expectations.

Los Angeles Times

Fresh

No special effects are front and center here, simply the way a master creator of images pulls us into a dramatic story of great psychological complexity.

Mature teens will appreciate this gripping epic.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this is a lavish and gripping movie, beautifully filmed, that commands your attention despite a length of nearly four hours, and a complex lead character. Although tame by modern standards, the battle scenes are still powerful, and could frighten some kids. Because of its complexity and length, this isn't a movie for young children. Mature teens will appreciate this gorgeous production.
