Metacritic
It's like an early version of Network, and it's just as overwrought, but Kazan enlivens the material with a mise en scène so vigorous that it could make anyone buy into the auteur theory. Kazan varies his shooting style, alternating between portraiture, expressionism, and docu-realism for a look and rhythm that's about 15 years ahead of its time.
Noel Murray
The A.V. Club
This is one of the greatest films of the 1950s, a prophetic film about the dangerous power of modern media.
Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle
Strong performances and a fiery aggressive tone keep things moving, but A Face in the Crowd is dated and not particularly deep.
