Critic Reviews

Mike D'Angelo

As a crash course in New German Cinema, this is tough to beat. Read full review

Richard Brody

With this film, Wenders crystallized his style of existential sentimentality. His cool eye for urbanism and design blends a love of kitsch with a hatred for commercialism, historicism with a fear of history’s ghosts. Read full review

The Observer (UK) Philip French

Yella Rottlander is unforgettable as Alice. [06 Jan 2008, p.16]

The Guardian Peter Bradshaw

It is an intriguing movie that lives in the mind for hours after the lights have come up. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

An ancestor of director Wenders's 1984 film Paris, Texas. Read full review

Carson Lund

What makes Alice in the Cities so noteworthy is the tender, lifelike rapport cultivated between Vogler and Rottländer. Read full review

Empire Anna Hart

Hardly must-see Wenders, but for fans of his road movies, it remains a treat. Read full review
