Top Critics Reviews

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.

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