Total Film - 10/10 by Kevin HarleyGenerous tides of life and longing flow through this buoyant masterpiece.
Village Voice - 10/10 by J. HobermanL'Atalante is the world in springtime -- a place where shimmering reflections, smoky breezes, empty streets, and a free-floating sense of erotic energy are the essence of life and of movies.

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeThe film has a weird kind of poetry and beauty about it that is hard -- perhaps impossible -- to describe.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Robert Abele"L'Atalante" is about how the world, in its wonder and cruelty, is both for and against lovers, often dizzyingly so.
