Dave Kehr Chicago Reader Feb 27, 2013
Sternberg suppresses direct emotional appeal to concentrate on something infinitely fine: a series of minute, discrete moral discoveries and philosophical realignments among his characters. Go to Full Review
Nick Pinkerton Village Voice Mar 16, 2010
In a way lost to contemporary social-work movies, von Sternberg's unsentimental poetic realism ennobles his lower-class protagonists through beauty. Classic. Go to Full Review

4/5
It fulfills their requirements, somewhat obscure to this reviewer, of rhythm, plasticity and unity. In simpler and more popular terms, it seems to be exceptionally good motion picture entertainment. Go to Full Review

3.5/4
An eerie, wistful hymn to the forgotten men and women of the working class looking for their own slice of happiness in grungy places. Go to Full Review

3.5/4
Basically a stock melodrama elevated by gorgeous visuals and fine performances. Go to Full Review
A.S. Hamrah n+1 Nov 27, 2018
Furthman specialized in unclassy tales of redemption in tawdry settings, featuring charming semi-brutal men and glamorous women who were a little ruined. Go to Full Review

Ron W Feb 25, 2017 A visually sumptuous film about a depressed dock worker in New York who accidentally stumbles across a young woman trying to commit suicide. They quickly bond in their loneliness & their worlds are filling with bizarre & exotic people. The atmosphere & presence in the film is top notch & just draws you into this smokey, wharf world. Despite their good intentions their relationship is doomed & you just watch in unravel. A fantastic film score with unforgettable visuals. See more
