"Revisits the German legend of Dr. Faustus with an amazing use of expressionistic visuals."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
4/4
"Films from the German Expressionism era are famous for their fiercely stylized mise-en-scene, and to Murnau the medium's very artificiality provided the keys to locating its truths."
Slant Magazine
Fernando F. Croce
4/5
"A masterpiece of expressionistic filmmaking, a silent classic that is unfortunately deeply flawed by a maudlin second act."
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
"
Faust
is a tragedy drawn in magnificent images like paintings in light and shadow and is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful of Murnau's German films."
Turner Classic Movies Online
Sean Axmaker
