Polished, impersonal work, it puts forward little more than a spirit of free-floating misanthropy.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

Clouzot, often called the French Hitchcock, is not just a master of suspense but is also most adroit at implicating his audience.
J. Hoberman, Village Voice

This expose of a malicious small town in France must be one of the most depressed films to emerge from the period of the German Occupation.
