A
"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

10/10
"A great work by a great director, and one of the most instantly accessible silent films ever made."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton
