The Savage Innocents Ratings & Reviews
Jet Magazine
Gerri Major
Anthony Quinn... turns in a performance that may win him an Oscar.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Cinematic coups abound
Variety
Variety Staff
Art director and editor have done a standout job in matching and cutting so that it is virtually impossible to decide where Pinewood began and Canada came in.
TV Guide
This stunning pictorial account of the way Eskimos live, hunt, love, and die was filmed in the northernmost part of Canada, and the scenes of Eskimos fighting for survival are truly magnificent and deeply moving.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Leo Goldsmith
Ray's portrait of Inuit life in the atomic age, and as with all of his later work, a curious blend of melodrama and pseudo-documentary
New York Times
Eugene Archer
His strange, disturbing drama will leave most of its viewers dissatisfied and some outraged, but few will remain indifferent.

Unlike anything else in Nicholas Ray's catalogue
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Nicholas Ray's epic film about Eskimo life and its remoteness from 'civilized' values represents his first -- and, in many ways, most ambitious -- attempt to break free from the Hollywood studios and forge an independent route.

The Savage Innocents makes you feel that you have become part of the tundra.
