Critic Reviews of "On The Waterfront"
New York Daily NewsFebruary 22, 2015Kazan over-emphasized the last sequence in the film, but on the whole, his fine direction shows in the strength and power of the dramatic action on the screen.
TIME MagazineFebruary 18, 2009On the Waterfront has a script that is a work of love and shows it.
VarietyJanuary 30, 2008Under Elia Kazan's direction, Marlon Brando puts on a spectacular show, giving a fascinating, multi-faceted performance as the uneducated dock walloper and former pug, who is basically a softie with a special affection for his rooftop covey of pigeons.
Chicago ReaderDecember 12, 2006It's hard to deny that Marlon Brando's performance as a dock worker and ex-fighter who finally decides to rat on his gangster brother (Rod Steiger) is pretty terrific.
Minneapolis Star TribuneMarch 03, 2005You miss this, you're buyin' a one-way ticket to Palookaville.
Playback:stlMay 13, 2016[Boris Kaufman's] neo-realistic style is a perfect match for Waterfront's gritty story... and the film was well served by the 36 days the cast and crew spent shooting in and around the Hoboken waterfront.
Classic Film and TelevisionNovember 28, 2015Overrated melodrama about the alleged wonders of informing.
Radio TimesFebruary 12, 2014On the surface it's an extremely well-crafted and entertaining drama, but peel away some layers and you'll discover an apologia for informing.
Creative LoafingMarch 07, 2013A powerful watch, thanks largely to an incredible cast, Leonard Bernstein's strong score, and a handful of iconic scenes, none better than the moving "I coulda been a contender" sequence.
Q Network Film DeskFebruary 26, 2013a watershed moment in cinema history; it remains one of the greatest films of the 1950s
Total FilmFebruary 15, 2013An astounding drama that's still a contender almost 50 years on.
