Hal Ashby directs Being There at an unruffled, elegant pace, the better to let Mr. Sellers's double-edged mannerisms make their full impression upon the audience.October 20, 2014
Even in a chilly movie like this, deaths have resonance (whether they're on camera, or off).

Amazingly poignant performance by Peter Sellers.July 08, 2014
The movie's main effect is to confirm how versatile Sellers has always been.July 08, 2014
Hal Ashby's satirical parable on the way the USA surrenders itself to homespun evangelicalism gives Peter Sellers the role of a lifetime.January 26, 2006
What emerges in the end is a strange ambiguity of attitude to the American political system and a hollow humour about cultural values. The cinema of cynicism, really.July 08, 2014
Here is a comedy that valiantly defies both gravity and the latest Hollywood fashion.July 08, 2014
A Gumpish plot? Perhaps, but Being There is much more subtle and enigmatic than that.October 31, 2007
A highly unusual and an unusually fine film.January 26, 2012
Peter Sellers gives a stellar performance.October 31, 2007
No one seems to know what to do with the allegorical undertone of Jerzy Kosinski's script, but as a whole this 1979 film maintains a fine level of wit, sophistication, and insight.December 19, 2016
Sellers has never been better and he embellishes the detached, childlike innocence of this character with perfect style and timing. It's a deceptively simple performance, but it is essentially the core and substance of the film.
