Because it is so uncompromising, so pure, "Port of Shadow's" particularly French brand of romantic fatalism still knocks us out decades after the fact.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Port of Shadows
Tender... frankly adult. Filled with almost every emotion known to man

From Gabin's fatigued magnetism to cinematographer Eugen Schufftan's woodcut-worthy attention to texture, this is movie melancholia of the very highest order.
Eric Hynes, Time Out New York
Fresh
As a film that neither attempts more than it can do nor is satisfied with the trivial, Port of Shadows is a pleasure.
Otis Ferguson, The New Republic
Fresh
Essentially, this is film noir, so there's crime and romance, but both are submerged beneath a resolutely ground-level exploration of lives in crisis -- a mood bolstered by shots of the down-and-dirty French port groaning into action.
Dave Calhoun, Time Out
Fresh
It's a thorough-going study in blacks and grays, without a free laugh in it; but it is also a remarkably beautiful motion picture from the purely pictorial standpoint and a strangely haunting drama.
Frank S. Nugent, New York Times
