Los Angeles Times
Because Bay of Angels reveals rather than moralizes, because its concerns are character and psychology, it's a potent showcase for Moreau's gifts. - 80
Village Voice
Most of all, it's an early chapter of Demy's courtship with the provincial France of his youth, with the most bewitching generation of French actresses, and with movies. - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
Great pleasures. - 75
New York Daily News
Seen through Demy's eyes (and Raoul Coutard's shimmering black-and-white photography), their extravagance is so effortlessly cool, you feel somehow lucky just to be there with them. - 70
New Times (L.A.)
Demy's films are often described in terms of music; this one is more like a tango in which one person leads and refuses to forfeit the position. - 50
TV Guide Magazine
The title of the film is most unfortunate because it gives no indication of the film's stark theme. Moreau is good as the disenchanted woman, but Mann is less effective.
