Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It's a thorough-going study in blacks and grays, without a free laugh in it; but it is also a remarkably beautiful motion picture from the purely pictorial standpoint and a strangely haunting drama.
– Frank S. Nugent,
New York Times,
28 Jan 2006
fresh:
Essentially, this is film noir, so there's crime and romance, but both are submerged beneath a resolutely ground-level exploration of lives in crisis -- a mood bolstered by shots of the down-and-dirty French port groaning into action.
– Dave Calhoun,

fresh:
As a film that neither attempts more than it can do nor is satisfied with the trivial, Port of Shadows is a pleasure.
– Otis Ferguson,
The New Republic,

fresh:
From Gabin's fatigued magnetism to cinematographer Eugen Schufftan's woodcut-worthy attention to texture, this is movie melancholia of the very highest order.
– Eric Hynes,
Time Out New York,

fresh:
Because it is so uncompromising, so pure, "Port of Shadow's" particularly French brand of romantic fatalism still knocks us out decades after the fact.
