Critic Reviews
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
Shadow of Angels is of more interest as a marginal part of the Fassbinder canon than as an example of Mr. Schmid's directorial acumen.
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
An interesting contrast to Fassbinder's own films of this period, it eschews Hollywood melodrama as a model and tries for something more operatic; it's probably one of Schmid's best features.
-
, TV Guide's Movie Guide
Daniel Schmid's elegantly directed stroll through the lower depths is indelibly stamped by the personality of his co-screenwriter, Rainer Werner Fassbinder.

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It offers viewers a contrast to the usual Hollywood melodrama.
