Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A bleak and desolate film, directed by Michelangelo Antonioni with an eye to the emotive powers of the barren landscape.
– Dave Kehr,

fresh:
The camera's spare, stunning compositions and the tone of loss and disaffection anticipate Antonioni's later, brilliant explorations of bourgeois anomie.
– Leslie Camhi,

fresh:
A fairly lucid story that puts no undue strain on a viewer's imagination or intellect.
– A.H. Weiler,

fresh:
If Antonioni's assuredness isn't yet in place, Il Grido remains a key transitional work, with remarkable photography, fluid camerawork, and a typically unforgettable finale ranking among its most notable virtues.
