Nightmare Alley

"Dark as del Toro's vision may be, it's a glorious homage to an American experience all but lost to time."

"A luminous noir vision."

"It's not the filmmaker's strongest effort, yet it's still a soaring spectacle that casts a spell."

"One of the year's most disappointing films."

"Guillermo del Toro reimagines an agonizing, still shocking noir as an exhibit in a wax museum."

"Nightmare Alley runs out of importance about a half hour before the finish. But it's still an entertaining movie..."

"A masterpiece of dark desires."

"A gorgeous exercise in style and mood."

"Del Toro is a world builder, but he can have a tough time bringing his creations to life, which is the case here despite the hard work of his fine cast."

"The muddled script lacks the killer instinct of its central figures."

"It's dull and mediocre."

"Nightmare Alley has flashes of brilliance but falls far short..."

"Cooper ably meets every demand the film makes of him."

"It’s the film equivalent of a fake dive bar..."

"Rapturous..."

"(Nightmare Alley) gives Bradley Cooper a career-best role..."

"Mesmerising..."

"It's a noir that's very easy to get ahead of."

"Nightmare Alley checks all the boxes."
