Le Jour Se Leve Reviews
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
Set convincingly on the streets and in the tenements, every frame here feels lived in.
Slant Magazine
Budd Wilkins
Like Marcel Carn's earlier Port of Shadows, Daybreak establishes a versatile visual palette that exerted a significant influence over classical noir.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
"Le Jour Se Leve" is an exploration of the question of who we love and why and how we love them that is surprisingly fresh and involving.
Village Voice
Stephanie Zacharek
Gorgeously melancholy, and not just because of its tragic love-triangle plot ...
New Yorker
Richard Brody
This prototype of film noir, from 1939, is both a grim feast of prewar French acting and a catalogue of French moods on the eve of disaster.
Variety
Variety Staff
The story is excellently conceived and planned.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
The pity of it all seems slightly forced, the melodramatics too obvious.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The screenplay is by Jacques Prevert, the most accomplished dialogist of the period, and the famous sets, with their overtones of German expressionism, are by Alexander Trauner.
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Visually creative thriller-romance anticipates film noir.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
What brings this film into greatness is the absolutely pitch-perfect lucid performance by Gabin.
