Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A fully realized work of art whose influence on science fiction, set design and symbolism can scarcely be put into words.

I have just had a sensational night at the movies, and the picture was only 83 years old.

fresh:
One of the last examples of the imaginative -- but often monstrous -- grandeur of the Golden Period of the German film, Metropolis is a spectacular example of Expressionist design.

Each frame of this classic is drop-dead stunning.
