Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A straightforward but classy thriller.

fresh:
Henri Decae's black-and-white cinematography brings out the melancholy mystery of Paris' boulevards and cafes, and Ms. Moreau, shot with natural lighting and without make-up, is like a mournful goddess of glamour.

fresh:
A suspense thriller with a tense, jazzy score and a rich undercurrent of fatalistic irony.

fresh:
Elevator to the Gallows is a treat for the film buff. Watching Moreau and Malle as they discover each other and a new trend in filmmaking, and listening to Miles Davis during their quest will remind you of what movies are all about.
