Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader May 8, 2013
The last of Preminger's overblown adaptations of best-sellers, this may have a lot more juice than sustenance, but at least Preminger keeps the juices flowing. Go to Full Review
Tom Milne Time Out May 8, 2013
The Preminger flair which made The Cardinal so enjoyable, despite its hackneyed script, seems to have deserted him in this lumbering melodrama. Go to Full Review
Variety Staff Variety May 8, 2013
An outstanding, tasteful but hard-hitting, and handsomely-produced film. Go to Full Review
Wilfrid Sheed Esquire Magazine Feb 6, 2020
So low has the South fallen that Otto Preminger hasn't even bothered to get the accents straight. Go to Full Review
Penelope Houston The Spectator Jul 6, 2018
What's tiring about the film is less these strangely old-fashioned lurches into melodrama (the date is supposed to be 1916: it hardly feels like it) than the self-importance of its attitudes. Go to Full Review
Film4 Staff Film4 May 8, 2013
You'll come away feeling that although it's worthy in its ideals, it could have done with a touch less overblown melodrama. Go to Full Review
