Christopher Lloyd, Sarasota Herald-Tribune
More interesting for the things it leaves unsaid than the occasionally staid melodramatic story.

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Though it had a poor box office upon its release, it eventually became recognized as a masterpiece.

Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Wyler's superlative rendition of Henry James' novel Washington Square is meticulously mounted with great acting from Olivia De Havilland, Monty Clift, and particularly Ralph Richardson, dark-noirish lensing, and powerful score from Aaron Copeland.

For a movie as honored and loved as this, the extras are dreadfully scarce.

Felix Gonzalez Jr., DVD Review
The reputation of this exceedingly fine film has continued to grow as the decades have rolled on, and the performances of a strong cast certainly deserve much of that credit.
