Atom User Reviews
Metacritic
An ingratiating West German Heaven Can Wait. (Review of Original Release)
Rita Kempley
Washington Post
The conceit gets a little out of hand after one of the angels falls in love with the trapeze artist and decides to become human; but prior to this, Wings of Desire is one of Wenders's most stunning achievements.
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Chicago Reader
Astonishing things happen and symbolism can only work by being apparent. For me, the film is like music or a landscape: It clears a space in my mind, and in that space I can consider questions. (Review of Original Release)
