Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
This is the only Cassavetes film made without a full script (it grew out of acting improvs), and rarely has so much warmth, delicacy, and raw feeling emerged so naturally and beautifully from performances in an American film.

fresh:
A very modern, impressionistic snapshot of New York bohemia with scenes linked not by dramatic line but by place, time and mood.
– Derek Adams,

fresh:
Shadows is an unfinished picture in every sense of the word. Yet it is fitfully dynamic, endowed with a raw but vibrant strength, conveying an illusion of being a record of real people, and it is incontestably sincere.

fresh:
Arguably the founding work of the American independent cinema.
