Rating: 4.5/5 --
The Pawnbroker is a paradoxically obsessed with death, yet roaring with life, a jazzy urban tragedy that sees shadows of the Holocaust in the suffering and exploitation of the dead-eyed souls of East Harlem.

Old School Reviews
[T]he onetime art-house staple wowed viewers who were unacquainted with European films of the recent past with its flashy editing techniques.
USA Today
If The Pawnbroker is nasty, the reason is that director Sidney Lumet consistently overplays his hand. Apart from a magnificent virtuoso performance by Rod Steiger - that incredibly versatile actor - the movie has nothing to do with art.

Rating: B- --
An unpleasant, solemn and overwrought melodrama about an embittered Jewish Holocaust survivor still haunted by his stay in Auschwitz.

All Movie Guide
Rating: A- --
One of the first Hollywood films to deal with the Holocaust, The Pawnbroker is thematically and stylistically innovative, borrowing some of its devices from the French New Wave, such as brief flashbacks, stylized b/w imagery, and jazzy score.

THE PAWNBROKER, directed by Sidney Lumet, stars Rod Steiger in this grim, dark tale of a Holocaust survivor who runs a pawnshop in Harlem. The film traces his deterioration as modern times force old memories to painfully flood back to him.
