Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
It has a slender, appealing story, moments of agonizing suspense, vivid atmosphere and superlative photography.

The ring of sincerity is clear in Flaherty's film.

fresh:
Flaherty's narrative may seem slightly naive; but his vision of a child's myth-world, and the oilmen's intrusion and acceptance into it, is perhaps his greatest achievement.
