Critic Reviews

  • Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine

    We remain outside the fourth wall looking in but are never drawn in; bemused perhaps, even agreeably complaisant, but never entirely amused.

  • Todd McCarthy, Variety

    This new Sabrina is more fizzle than fizz.

  • Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

    Sydney Pollack directs with the sort of polish that was easy to take for granted two decades ago but almost looked like classicism in 1995.

  • Janet Maslin, New York Times

    Blossoming into radiant color, this film has picture-postcard charms that the black-and-white earlier version could only hint at.

  • Alice S


    Meh. Julia Ormond is exquisite but Harrison Ford is blisteringly dull. The film hardly shows Sabrina's development from gawky nerd to Parisian sophisticate at all. A few zingers here and there, but on the whole, draggy and overwrought. The original with Audrey and Bogie… More

    Sabrina is the chauffeur's daughter who causes a stir amongst the family.
