"Hoffmann" is an immersive aesthetic experience best thought of as an art form all its own.

Only the slightly muddled structure detracts from what is otherwise an audacious cinematic experiment.

Monthly Film Bulletin

The obvious care and effort that have gone into Hoffmann, the sometimes memorably contrived passages of virtuosity in the first half, make one reluctant to insist on the collapse of the work as a whole.

The film will never rank among my favorites in the careers of these filmmakers, but filmmaking legends as diverse as Cecil B. DeMille, Martin Scorsese and George A. Romero all adore it ...

You might compare this to the 1948 Powell and Pressburger film The Red Shoes, though in many ways it is even more hallucinatory.
