Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
What makes the character so poignant is that her final fortification is not her street wisdom -- that's all surface -- but her innocence. Her ultimate protection is our sympathy for her.

Even in the mutilated version of the film, Masina shone and sparkled in her shabby role.

Through [Masina's] unforgettable performance, Cabiria will endure as long as anyone cares to watch transcendence projected on a screen.

The gift of Cabiria's essence, freed from the determinism of stories, is to return us to our own.
