“In a three-hour, 40th anniversary rerelease, this Swedish family saga unfolds with emotional power, wonder and brilliant acting.” 5/5 – The Guardian
“A crisis in housing, a racist ruling class and a struggle against a hideous ego-plutocrat who names everything after himself – this 1946 classic still resonates.” 5/5 – The Guardian
“Doing press for Lost Highway in Europe, everyone was, like: “Wow, this is great.” But everyone in the States was, like: “Can you explain it to me?” It’s easier to embrace now. The world has gotten more like the film: fractured. Maybe this reality Fred participated in is what we’re living in now.” – The Guardian
“You could hardly imagine a better example of the Hollywood machine in fluid, engaging action. Based on a novella by Robert Nathan, the script touches on all the wholesome tropes of the Christmas movie without dipping too deeply into schmaltz.” 4/5 – The Irish Times
