fresh:
Superb performances from Gabin, Simon and Ledoux as the classic tragic love triangle.

fresh:
Jean Renoir's generous sensibility seems at odds with the sterile determinism of the Zola novel on which this 1938 film was based.

fresh:
It is simply a story; a macabre, grim and oddly-fascinating story.
– Frank S. Nugent,
New York Times,
25 Mar 2006
rotten:
The film has marvellous atmosphere and a fine cast, but the material, which involves brutal, uncontrollable passion seen in a social framework, turns oppressive, and at times Gabin is a lump.
