| Tim Dirks' The Greatest FilmsTim DirksQueen Christina (1933) is one of Greta Garbo's quintessential, most-remembered screen portrayals (and one of her finest films), with glowing scenes |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeProbably the best film the legendary Greta Garbo ever made. |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonThe sheer presence of Garbo in this startlingly profound performance it completely and utterly mesmerizing, and an experience that can't really be done justice on the small screen. |
| The SpectatorCharles DavyIt must be said that this film gives great pleasure to the eye. The usual Hollywood glitter is replaced by harmonies of light and shade exceptionally well handled. |
| Dispatch-Tribune NewspapersSteve CrumWorth it for pairing of Garbo and Gilbert alone. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyDecades later, Queen Christina remains one of Garbo's most poignant, touching, and enjoyable films, showing the Divine in all her glory. |
| Radio TimesPeter FreedmanNot a pacey film, but, overall, almost as beautiful as Garbo herself, who, in the end, makes the picture. |
| Movie Magazine InternationalMoira SullivanRueben Mamoulian may have taken great liberty to change the historical facts to fit his film but it's a very entertaining one especially because Garbo is in every scene. |
| VarietyVariety StaffChief fault with Christina is its lethargy. It is slow and ofttimes stilted. |
| Goatdog's MoviesMichael W. Phillips, Jr.The whole is less than the sum of its parts, but it is of interest for four great scenes, one great closeup, and a homosexual subtext that was daring for its time. |
