Mordaunt Hall New York Times It is not long before this picture begins to create a desire to yawn, and half an hour after it has been cavorting across the screen you may become fidgety. Sep 4, 2020 Full Review Wilella Waldorf New York Post Numerous lights and shades are certainly in evidence, with the shadows, unfortunately, predominating to such a degree that the spectator is often left entirely in the dark as to what is going on. Sep 4, 2020 Full Review Times (UK) Staff Times (UK) [Warning Shadows] is an unusually interesting production, which illustrates the progress of our competitors abroad in developing and improving technique. Sep 4, 2020 Full Review Iris Barry The Spectator I would boldly urge all unbelievers to see it. May 8, 2018 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews An influential minor classic silent German expressionist film. Rated: B Jan 12, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This is an unusual, very different sort of film, completely visual as it has no inter-titles, in keeping with the original German version--Shadow play!! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
