...an effective (and affecting) endeavor.

Philadelphia Gay News

Michael Mascioli

The Front lacks a good script and seems to have trouble convincing us whether or not all this really happened.

Funny as only Allen can be, the script by Walter Bernstein and the direction by Martin Ritt delve far deeper and give us a penetrating look via black comedy at a time of mass hysteria.

Ruth Batchelor

It's human and more terrifying than any horror film because it could happen again.

El Pais (Spain)

Jesús Fernández Santos

The few moments of authentic emotion and perfect setting don't manage to erase the excessively intellectual feel of the film, which alienates the public from the crucial moments of the story. [Full Review in Spanish]
