City Girl Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's distinguished mostly by the great director's special creative touches in filming.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
A solid, emotionally charged picture that bridges a gap between German expressionism and poetic realism.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Some of Murnau's genius remains in the lighting of individual shots, and particularly in a lyrical sequence in which a man (Charles Farrell), a woman (Mary Duncan), and Murnau's camera dance through a sunlit field.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Murnau's sense of evocative image and editorial rhythm greatly elevates it.
The Film Daily
Film Daily Staff
It has one of those stories that are aimed at the sentimentality in a person but never quite reach their mark.
Photoplay
Shadow Stage
Its first part is a beautiful, powerful story of the love of a city waitress and a son of the wheatlands... Finished as a talkie, it lost all its steam.
TV Guide
Its original title was Bread, which would account for the film's obsession with wheat. The story takes a long time to unfold.
