Critic Reviews of "The Fallen Idol"
Steven Rea Philadelphia InquirerJune 10, 2016The Fallen Idol finds innocence and inquisitiveness at odds with corruption, violence, desire, deceit - all the stuff that grown-ups trade in.
Alan Scherstuhl Village VoiceMay 25, 2016The Fallen Idol stands as one of the great films about looking, about perspective, about the way we watch and interpret not just film plots but each other.
Colin Covert Minneapolis Star TribuneOctober 19, 2006Masterful 1948 suspense thriller.
Michael Wilmington Chicago TribuneAugust 25, 2006As a portrait of the sometime destructiveness of innocence and as a sharp fresco of post-war Britain, this movie is a little masterpiece, an idol that has never fallen.
Chris Vognar Dallas Morning NewsJune 29, 2006It's a masterful and unsentimental child's-eye view of the cold, hard adult world.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionJune 15, 2006An indelible portrait of childhood's confusions, disillusionments and inevitable lost innocence.
Gerald Peary Arts FuseJune 13, 2016The Fallen Idol is one of the best achieved examples in cinema of seeing the world through the eyes of a child.
Matt Prigge MetroMay 26, 2016In some ways an even more brilliant contraption than "The Third Man," and with a third act that might be superior, too.
Sean Axmaker Turner Classic Movies OnlineJanuary 01, 2009... one of the great films of innocence lost and a powerful portrait of the powerlessness of children in the adult world, where they are so often ignored or discounted.
Dennis Schwartz Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDecember 09, 2006It's a gripping mystery story involving adult secrets, childhood lies and betrayal as part of the human equation.
Christopher Null Filmcritic.comNovember 14, 2006separates itself from what would otherwise be a rather rote drama/thriller.
