[Borzage's] doom-laden romanticism pervades the movie's visual style as well as its drama.

This is an overlooked gem from one of Hollywood's under-the-radar mavericks, and a tasty slice of small-town noir.

This is a place out of time and space, created entirely on studio sets and photographed with the floating cameras and poetic imagery of a silent movie, lush and claustrophobic and beautifully unreal...

Moonrise earned a solitary Oscar nomination for Best Sound, but if any individual component should be recognized, it's the exceptional cinematography by John L. Russell.
