The film is very much 'a full theatrical meal,' and one that conveys a lot of 'the multiplicity of life' one seldom sees on the screen these days.
– Vincent Canby,

fresh:
Forster's novel is one of the literary landmarks of this century, and now David Lean has made it into one of the greatest screen adaptations I have ever seen.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
An impeccably faithful, beautifully played and occasionally languorous adaptation of E.M. Forster's classic novel.
