Leave your thoughts about Woman in a Dressing Gown.
| Monthly Film BulletinMFB CriticsThe facile ending, with its suggestion of "happy ever after", is in line with the compromising attitude of the film as a whole; and rings entirely false. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterA film that deserves to be better known and a welcome reminder of what a fine actress the late Yvonne Mitchell was. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Robbie CollinIt's utterly compelling, both as a historical document and as heartbreakingly plausible drama. |
| Time OutTom HuddlestonThe most affecting aspect of the film is its sense of compassion: we're never asked to condemn or condone, merely to understand. |
| The ListHannah McGillHard and uncompromising, yet charged with sad fellow-feeling regarding the lies that we tell ourselves and the compromises we make, this is elegant, adult cinema with a fierce emotional punch. |
| Total FilmPhilip KempIt's relentlessly downbeat and claustrophobic, but Ted Willis' script avoids easy recrimination. |
| User ReviewMichael THighly effective British drama directed by J. Lee Thompson with a fantastic performance by Yvonne Mitchell. |
