In a Lonely Place Ratings & Reviews

Ah yes….back when men were men. Getting into 100 road rage incidents is definitely something to brag about! Nobody in this film knows how to drive!! Would love for someone to tell Dix no or fight back lol Obviously well-done all around! The toxic masculinity aged gracefully!

In a Lonely Place isn't so much a straightforward thriller as it is a poignant psychological study of a person and a milieu, veiled as an atmospheric noir.
Filmsite
Tim Dirks
In a Lonely Place (1950) is maverick director Nicholas Ray's and Columbia Pictures' well-respected, bleak, mature, and dramatic film noir, although it was not a box-office hit and received no Academy Award nominations.

You get a full performance from Gloria Grahame, then bonus ones from each of her eyebrows.
n+1
A.S. Hamrah
It's not just the end, but the film's whole last half hour that wrecks you.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
It's a deeply Freudian film that happens to understand Freud--testament to its enduring, unshakable nature.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
achieves an absolutely unrelenting grip because Ray plays so expertly on our associations, turning them inside out and against us
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Few movies suggest such a forthright flaying of their director's soul.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Bogie the superstar laid bare by Nicholas Ray's scrutiny, the legendary persona eroded to reveal the desolating macho violence
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Disturbing look at a violent man.
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
For many admirers In a Lonely Place is the ultimate inside-Hollywood sour-grape ball, eclipsing even Sunset Boulevard.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Grim and haunting, this quintessentially film noir boasts iconic performances from Bogart and Gloria Grahame and is one of the most personal, deeply felt works by Nicholas Ray.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
The grayest, most morally ambiguous of film noirs -- and arguably the most self-reflexive.
New York Press
Armond White
Nicholas Ray's 1950 film deserves to be better known; it's one of Hollywood's finest examinations of masculinity.

grim and glorious
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
It's a breathtaking work, and a key citation in the case for confession as suitable material for art.
Variety
Variety Staff
Director Nicholas Ray maintains nice suspense. Bogart is excellent. Gloria Grahame, as his romance, also rates kudos.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
A superior cut of melodrama.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Like Albert Camus' The Stranger, In a Lonely Place is the epitome of existentialist primers.
