Critic Reviews for The Joyless Street
All Critics (8) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (2)
The picture has minor virtues and major defects.
It later came as a major revelation, both when compared with Pabst's later work and in the context of the development of a film narrative able to accommodate a large number of characters.
Despite Garbo, it's heavy going -- an official classic that hasn't quite earned the title.
about the consequences of desperate poverty and decadent wealth
As the film cuts between scenes of wretched poverty and luxurious excess, Pabst's imagery and Garbo's magnetic presence more than make up for a rather weak drama.
