Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
This extraordinary piece of artistry and craftsmanship integrates its dazzling special effects so seamlessly that they're indistinguishable from the film's narrative, poetry, and, above all, metaphysics.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,

fresh:
As atmospheric and menacing a work as the expressionist movement ever produced.
– Don Druker,

rotten:
Murnau's version of the story of the man who sold his soul to the Devil (Jannings) in return for youth is visually extraordinary but dismally uneven in terms of its dramatic effect.

fresh:
I sometimes feel, in this age of expert CGI, that I am being shown too much -- that technique is pushing aside artistry and imagination. The world of Faust is never intended to define a physical universe, but is a landscape of nightmares.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
Still a classic example of eye-popping excess at a time when German filmmakers were among the most innovative in the world.
