Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Vidor, playing to that crowd, sternly warns against going it alone.
– Richard Brody,
New Yorker,
15 Dec 2014
fresh:
The camera style owes something to Murnau, but the sense of space -- the vast environments that define and attack his protagonists -- is Vidor's own.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,
26 Feb 2013
rotten:
A drab actionless story of ungodly length and apparently telling nothing.
– Variety Staff,
Variety,

fresh:
Throughout this subject Mr. Vidor shrewdly avoids the stereotyped conception of setting forth scenes, and in more than one case he uses his camera in an inspired fashion.
– Mordaunt Hall,
New York Times,
25 Mar 2006
fresh:
The performances are absolutely flawless, and astonishing location work in the busy New York streets (including a giddy tour of Coney Island on a blind date) lends a gritty ring of truth to his intensely human odyssey.
