This film is very awkward. Instead, it's a good film with a lot of awkward moments. Aside from the Oscar winning performances the film has odd staging and out of place editing/cuts. For example, the first scene has a jump cut right as Bonnie gets up to look out of the window. The two cuts do not flow together, they aren't seamless like most other film edits. Also, there are moments where the actions of the characters are just awkward i.e. when Bonnie and Clyde are about to make love for the first time and Clyde angrily denies her. The choreography of that scene was very off aside from the fact that the moment was awkward by nature. The music was terrible but fitting. I felt that the banjo was too much, in the worst way and brought the film down. But, again, it was fitting. I get it. Casting was great! Faye Dunaway is gorgeous and pairs nicely with Warren Beatty. And its based on a true story so its a cool film no matter what.

I enjoyed this films ups and downs and overall think it is a very enjoyable film. This film is quick to the plot and really tries to portray and accurate view of bonnie and Clyde's life. As a fan of gangster films I thought this movie was well acted and directed. The actors are chosen well and the camera seems to be in a good spot most of the time. the sound is also very interesting in this film like the gunshots are noises when driving. Overall I enjoyed this film.

Who says older films can't be absolutely amazing?The age old story of Bonnie and Clyde, heard many different times in many different ways, but this film version is as true to life as any you'll find, sure it's tarted up for screen presence, but isn't everything?What I really liked about the film is is jumps straight into the action, there's very little backstory, only detailed briefly, Clyde Barrow meets Bonnie Parker at the start of the film and away we go. The whole film draws on some of the notorious duos most celebrated capers, piecing together the story from when they first met, to the moment they are shot dead by the police. Faye Dunaway, in her first major role, electrifies as the somewhat erotic Bonnie Parker, she's a villain you just can't bring yourself to hate, she's pretty, she's charming, she has some serious sex appeal..., and as for Warren Beatty, his portrayal of Clyde Barrow is as realistic as it gets, a charming swindler that will melt you with a grin as much as he'll shoot you with a gun.The supporting cast were somewhat passive, but that doesn't matter, as all eyes are on the titular duo..., the Barrow gang as they were called were cool before cool was a thing, could you really call them villains? To me I'm more inclined to consider them anti-heroes; Bonnie and Clyde was one of the first films in my opinion to usher in the New Hollywood era.Things were changing around the mid-late 60's, gone was the Hayes Code, the Golden era had long since past, and Hollywood was looking for something new and exciting, younger talent, younger directors were taking the forefront and ageing stars like John Wayne and James Stewart were being phased out, Bonnie and Clyde along with several other films of the time were breaking the cycle, step forward New Hollywood, and the land of film was going to change forever. Bonnie and Clyde did everything right, and I can't find a thing to fault, so it naturally gets top marks and a round of applause from me, if you haven't seen it, what's wrong with you, I insist you watch.

Though the theme is not great, the way it is carried is. Arthur Penn is pushing many buttons in this film and is feeling comfortable, something that was not the case in say "The Chase" (1966) - exactly because the theme is easier and relatively light. There is a tight smile one every scene and you can never tell the good and the bad guy. This is life, this is great art.
