The critical consensus

Welles’ dazzling direction more than makes up for any lack of viewer understanding.

****(*)Kevin Harley, Total Film, 21/07/2014

Time proves this to be insanely ambitious and batty in the best sense.

Glenn Heath Jr, Little White Lies, 24/07/2014

It has an irresistible energy.

*****Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 24/07/2014

Orson Welles's foray into film noir boasts one of the actor-director's most likeable and unusual performances.
