The film won the 
Golden Lion at the 
Venice Film Festival as well as the 
Fantasporto Directors' Week Award. For his work in the film, Gary Oldman was nominated for the 1991 
Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead.
 In 2011, 
Total Film  named Oldman's portrayal of Rosencrantz as one of the "greatest  moments" of his career, and wrote, "He's a blitz of brilliant comedy  timing and pitch perfect line delivery. Crucially, he's also  hysterical".
