Movie Reviews

Time Out - 10/10 by Tom MilneAn elegant and eloquent film, nevertheless, even if the characteristically laconic Fordian poetry seems more contrived here.
LarsenOnFilm - 10/10 by Josh LarsenHow Green Was My Valley thrums with an indomitable confidence in a better day, one that’s rooted in the memory that life in this valley – before the mine hollowed things out – was once very good.
The New York Times - 10/10 by Bosley CrowtherDarryl Zanuck, John Ford and their associates at Twentieth Century-Fox have fashioned a motion picture of great poetic charm and dignity, a picture rich in visual fabrication and in the vigor of its imagery, and one which may truly be regarded as an outstanding film of the year.
Chicago Reader - 10/10 by Don DrukerAs in all the best Fordian cinema, though everything changes and most things die or disappear, what remains in memory and in spirit triumphs—and what on the surface is a tender and sad film becomes instead joyous and robust.
USA Today - 10/10 by Mike ClarkThe dialogue follows the quaint Welsh dialect of the book and the picture is as faithful a transcription of novel to screen as it is possible for a scenarist and director to achieve. The screen play, by Philip Dunne, retains all the honest vigor and tender charm of the book.
New York Daily News - 10/10 by Kate CameronOne of the outstanding film productions of the year.
Nerdist - 10/10 by Witney SeiboldThere are a lot of rich characters and good instances of moral outrage. It may not be better than Citizen Kane, but it's still a pretty damn good movie.
Common Sense Media - 10/10 by Andrea BeachSentimental classic still tugs at the heartstrings.
Orlando Sentinel - 9/10 by Crosby DayWinning Best Film at that year's Oscars, this John Huston film typically epic with a faithful screenplay to Richard Llewellyn's famous novel. Strong performances from Crisp and O'Hara although McDowall as the young lead, gives a particularly memorable performance while the setting shows Wales at its most beautiful.
Cinema Sight - 9/10 by Wesley LovellLife in the working class generally determines where your life will lead. A young boy with the chance to break out realizes where his future is supposed to be.
