Critic Reviews

Kenneth Turan

Because Bay of Angels reveals rather than moralizes, because its concerns are character and psychology, it's a potent showcase for Moreau's gifts. Read full review

Michael Atkinson

Most of all, it's an early chapter of Demy's courtship with the provincial France of his youth, with the most bewitching generation of French actresses, and with movies. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Seen through Demy's eyes (and Raoul Coutard's shimmering black-and-white photography), their extravagance is so effortlessly cool, you feel somehow lucky just to be there with them. Read full review

Edward Guthmann

Great pleasures. Read full review

New Times (L.A.) Jean Oppenheimer

Demy's films are often described in terms of music; this one is more like a tango in which one person leads and refuses to forfeit the position. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Frank Lovece

The title of the film is most unfortunate because it gives no indication of the film's stark theme. Moreau is good as the disenchanted woman, but Mann is less effective. Read full review
