The Immortal Story Ratings & Reviews
Groucho Reviews
Peter Canavese
A dreamy fable of just-so proportion and asethetics...this literate and richly strange film has layers of meaning available to the viewer. [Criterion Blu-ray]
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Always oddly fascinating.
New York Times
A.H. Weiler
Its sad and bittersweet effects are slowly achieved in brooding, garrulous, overly introspective style, except by Jeanne Moreau.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
Minor but not without interest.
Film Threat
Phil Hall
Minor Orson Welles effort, though second-tier Welles is still better than first-tier anyone else.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
It's awkward yet exquisite.
CraveOnline
Witney Seibold
Perhaps Welles, in playing a man who doesn't understand art, was embodying his more vitriolic critics. He was presenting ever more complex art to critical agents, and was constantly met with confusion and literal interpretations.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Shot on a smaller scale than Welles' other films, but it has all of Welles' hallmarks, including cavernous shots and startling angles.
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Masterpiece, rich in visual style.
TV Guide
A small, quietly beautiful fable which leaves the viewer with a strange sense of loss and sadness.
