"All these reverberations set up a game of narrative ping-pong. As spectators, we’re punished for “believing” in characters as people when they’re only figures on a storyboard."

"The best of the Woolrich adaptations. . .express something virtually alien to noir mood and noir ethos: a lingering, faintly nostalgic sensitivity, a persistent albeit wistful humanism."

"If the dark side of the American dream hardly needs to be excavated again . . .Gray presents something very different from a noir vision of a world where no one can be trusted."

"The film's resonances don't stop with these two messages but extend into a realm of their own, which might be called quasi-mystical, or romantic, or magical-religious-existential."
