Movie Reviews

TIME Magazine - 9/10 by James AgeeA remarkably good moving picture-an improvement on Franz Werfel's reverent novel about the French peasant girl who saw the Blessed Virgin and, with her help, discovered a miraculously healing spring at Lourdes.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyJennifer Jones won the Best Actress Oscar for this stodgy spiritual biopic of the French girl who saw visions of Virgin Mary in 19th century France.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 8/10 by Ken HankeOver-produced, quasi-religious historical drama.
America Magazine - 8/10 by Eve TushnetThe theology in The Song of Bernadette is subtle; it satirizes Catholic worship of suffering...
DVDJournal.com - 5/10 by Mark BourneIf your spiritual tuning fork doesn't already hum to The Song of Bernadette's sentimental religiosity, this is an overlong (156 minutes), overpious, and often kitschy hagiography.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You - 4/10 by Matt BaileyThe Song of Bernadette is not a great film, but it is a very good film. It is characteristic of the kind of earnest prestige or super-spectacle picture that was always a stumbling block for an art form built on commerce and exploitation, but it is
User Review - 10/10 by N MThose of you who doubt the existence of a superior being in the world, namely, God the Creator, you must see this movie. It is based on a true story that took place in the 19th century in Lourdes, France. The dead body of Bernadette whose life is depicted in this movie "The Song of Bernadette" is incorrupt. After her death, the Catholic Church did an investigation on her life and cannonized her. After many years of her death, her body was found incorrupt. Placed in a glass coffin in a Catholic Church in France, pilgrims visit this Church to pay respect for this great saint of God, a vessel of His grace to our world! When looking at her face, she appears as, though, she is only sleeping. She still looks beautiful!
User Review - 10/10 by Luis Gnanna made me watch this every easter she had it on tape so if it wasnt on it didnt matter we watched it anyway
User Review - 10/10 by Sarah RWatched it several times a year in private school. It is one of my favorite Saint movies. I absolutely love St. Bernadette...so much that I chose her name for my Confirmation name!
User Review - 10/10 by Joanna Lin 1858 on a cold february afternoon, a 16 year old peasant girl was visited by a vision of a beautiful lady. the rest of the world would claim the girl saw the virgin mary and would proceed to act as such. the girl, bernadette soubirous, would eventually be canonized because of her vision but she would be remembered because of her faith in her conviction. henry king, in the style of the hollywood studio product, creates a tribute to this young woman that is undoubtably strong and sensitive. and his talents made a star of jennifer jones, who plays bernadette. an easter is not the same without this film.
