Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
There are some excruciating flashes of accuracy and truth in this film.

Like its hero, Rebel Without a Cause desperately wants to say something and doesn't know what it is. If it did know, it would lose its fascination.

fresh:
Dean's finest film, hardly surprisingly in that Ray was one of the great '50s directors.

fresh:
Here is a fairly exciting, suspenseful and provocative, if also occasionally far-fetched, melodrama of unhappy youth on another delinquency kick.
