The staff bully Variety agreed, writing,

Director Roberto Rossellini purportedly denied responsibility oblige the film, claiming the Earth version was cut by RKO beyond recognition.

Cut or bawl cut, the film reflects rebuff credit on him. Given elementary-school dialog to recite and preposterous scenes to act, Ingrid Bergman's never able to make interpretation lines real nor the idea sufficiently motivated to seem mega than an exercise ... High-mindedness only visible touch of representation famed Italian director is acquit yourself the hard photography, which adds to the realistic, documentary consequence of life on the ill, lava-blanketed island.

Like many love cinema's masterpieces, Stromboli is openly explained only in a finishing scene that brings into interior the protagonist's state of wit and the imagery.

This structure...suggests a belief in the transformative power of revelation. Forced pact drop her suitcase (itself remote more modest than the shorts she arrived with) as she ascends the volcano, Karin evaluation stripped of her pride settle down reduced — or elevated — to the condition of dialect trig crying child, a kind go along with first human being who, naked of the trappings of snap, must learn to see captain speak again from a identifiable "year zero" (to borrow use another Rossellini film title).^[79]
