Critics consensus

“Further elevated by a strong central performance from Dirk Bogarde, Victim offers an eloquent and emotionally affecting argument against prejudice.”

Dirk Bogarde offers one of his best performances... He is homosexual only by inclination, never by act. Yet even such equivocation is a big step towards candour, and casting a star in such a part demands courage.

Victim may seem archaic. But even its compromises teach us something about the era that produced it.

The film's presentation of sexual oppression remains shockingly relevant to this day.

It is outspoken -- but honestly so, not cheaply designed to merely shock its audience.
