Though scuppered by problems worse than those usually associated with international coproductions, this is nonetheless rather more than just another engaging oddity from Ray.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out

His strange, disturbing drama will leave most of its viewers dissatisfied and some outraged, but few will remain indifferent.
Eugene Archer, New York Times

Nicholas Ray's epic film about Eskimo life and its remoteness from 'civilized' values represents his first -- and, in many ways, most ambitious -- attempt to break free from the Hollywood studios and forge an independent route.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
