Flaherty's great achievement is not documentary objectivity but something else, a sort of reconstructed rawness that illuminates the human struggles and explorations on both sides of the lenses

CinePassion
Beside this film the usual photoplay, the so-called "dramatic" work of the screen, becomes as thin and blank as the celluloid on which it is printed. And the photoplay cannot avoid the comparison that exposes its lack of substance.

...Robert Flaherty's documentary about a year in the life of a Hudson Bay Eskimo hasn't lost a thing... -- 4 out of 4 stars
USA Today
Despite the comparatively primitive technique and the natural difficulties of shooting a film in the frozen Hudson Bay wastelands, every minute of Nanook lives up to its reputation.

Variety
These characters are plainly 'playing' themselves, and scenes such as the igloo-building manifest a sage grace and skill.

Rating: 4/5 --
This remains a remarkable piece of film-making and humanist anthropology.

Product Description:
Flaherty's landmark silent document of Eskimo life examines the daily lives of a small tribe living on the shores of Canada's Hudson Bay region. Focusing on Inuit hunter Nanook and his family, the film presents real, vivid demonstrations of hunting, building shelter and other aspects of surviving in cold, harsh conditions. Very popular upon its initial release in 1922, the film remains educational and enchanting to this day.
