Faust Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
I sometimes feel, in this age of expert CGI, that I am being shown too much -- that technique is pushing aside artistry and imagination. The world of Faust is never intended to define a physical universe, but is a landscape of nightmares.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
Still a classic example of eye-popping excess at a time when German filmmakers were among the most innovative in the world.
Slant Magazine
Fernando F. Croce
Films from the German Expressionism era are famous for their fiercely stylized mise-en-scene, and to Murnau the medium's very artificiality provided the keys to locating its truths.
New York Post
Wilella Waldorf
It can be said without exaggeration that each individual scene in this production is in itself a perfect picture.
Variety
C. Hooper Trask
From the standpoint of taste and photographic brilliance it Is doubtful whether there has ever been a production that surpassed it.
TIME Magazine
TIME Staff
From the ever-serviceable Faust story is derived a weird fairytale, a picture story of the powers of evil on earth.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
This extraordinary piece of artistry and craftsmanship integrates its dazzling special effects so seamlessly that they're indistinguishable from the film's narrative, poetry, and, above all, metaphysics.
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
As atmospheric and menacing a work as the expressionist movement ever produced.
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
Here is a picture which is as far removed from the ordinary movie as a Tintoretto painting.
Motion Picture News
Laurence Reid
As tine as the technicalities of this production are the attention is not held to strict account.
Moving Picture World
C.S. Sewell
Scene after scene reveals a setting that for composition and lighting has seldom been equaled.
Photoplay
Shadow Stage
Murnau has developed any number of scenes extraordinary in directorial technique and photography.
TV Guide
TV Guide Staff
Faust an extremely stylish horror fantasy in the best tradition of German silent cinema, featuring brilliant photography, magnificent art direction, and magical special effects which still have the power to amaze.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Revisits the German legend of Dr. Faustus with an amazing use of expressionistic visuals.
The Film Daily
Film Daily Staff
Double and triple exposures, unusual atmospheric effects, drastically different shooting angles and a marvelous flight on a magic carpet -- these are a few of the rare gems of camera skill that help make Faust the artistic masterpiece that it is.
Turner Classic Movies Online
Sean Axmaker
Faust is a tragedy drawn in magnificent images like paintings in light and shadow and is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful of Murnau's German films.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
A great work by a great director, and one of the most instantly accessible silent films ever made.
