Reviews for Edge of the World
Told with old-fashioned simplicity yet avoiding any trace of sentimentality or emotionalism, it's a small-scale masterpiece that shouldn't be missed by anyone interested in cinematic storytelling at its most compelling.
... a must-see for Powell enthusiasts; the visuals are indescribably forceful.
Michael Powell entered the golden age of his career with The Edge of the World.
A flinty, hard-edged melodrama amidst unforgettable landscapes; an early jewel from Michael Powell.
