Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
An uncommonly good little picture -- and one which is frankly designed to appeal to that group of film-goers who are provoked by the 'usual movie tripe.'
– Bosley Crowther,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
rotten:
Some films don't age well, and no doubt Brief Encounter had more of an emotional effect in the social climate of post-war Britain.

Rarely rises above the level of the old women's magazines.
– Don Druker,
Chicago Reader,

Cyril Raymond manages to invest the stodgy character with a lovable quality.
