Movie Reviews

Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Michael WilmingtonTrashy and glorious, the restored Metropolis is a pop epic for the ages.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertDoes what many great films do, creating a time, place and characters so striking that they become part of our arsenal of images for imagining the world.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Mick LaSalleSeeing it is a time-bending experience, a way of visiting the past and glimpsing the past's idea of the future. A masterpiece of art direction, the movie has influenced our vision of the future ever since, with its imposing white monoliths and starched facades.
Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by David SterrittMetropolis has a place in world history as well as in the annals of fantasy. Adolf Hitler was said to have loved it, and Lang eventually fled Germany for Hollywood when the Third Reich wanted him to run its movie industry. Few movies of any era offer so much varied food for thought, cinematically and politically. Its new restoration is a major motion-picture event.
Miami Herald - 10/10 by Marta BarberWhat you come to see are the strokes of a visual master. You will not be disappointed.
New York Daily News - 10/10 by Jami BernardIt took the German restorers four years to ready this print using dupe negatives and old prints found in archives around the world. Their work speaks for itself. Each frame of this classic is drop-dead stunning, the more so now that the movie no longer hiccups its way across the screen.
Baltimore Sun - 10/10 by Michael SragowIt leaves you dazed and sated. Compared to the fast food "eye candy" surrounding it these days, Metropolis is a gourmet 20-course meal.
The New York Times - 9/10 by Dana StevensMetropolis retains its power to overwhelm, trouble and move because it is connected to the deep anxieties of modern life as if by a high-voltage cable.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Dave KehrDeparting from a masterful manipulation of space, Lang transforms the futuristic city of the title into a field of dreams centered on death and sexuality.
TV Guide Magazine - 8/10 by Dale ThomajanWhat ultimately saves the film from both silliness and ponderousness is not its simplistic social message, not its now-stale theme, nor its disappointing characterizations, but rather the dazzling cinematic (and theatrical) bag of tricks which Lang and company employed to keep things moving.
