Critic Reviews

Vincent Canby, New York Times
The result of this high-powered collaboration is a movie of such unrelieved genteelness that it makes one long to head for Schrafft's for a double-gin martini, straight up, and a stack of cinnamon toast from which the crusts have been removed.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
84 Charing Cross Road is a movie made for people who love London and books. The only problem is that the heroine doesn't get to London until it's too late, and nobody ever seems to read in this movie.
-
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
This wonderful little gem is something of a critic-proof cult item in my house.
-
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
The film has nothing to do with easy nostalgia; it's about real, credible people, and as such finally becomes very moving.
-
Jeffrey M. Anderson, San Francisco Examiner
A staid, static movie that wins us over with its outstanding performances and its love of books.
