Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Stahl's use of space and the performances in Leave Her to Heaven...suggest he was at least the equal of the much-exalted Sirk as an artist of melodrama.

fresh:
A 'film noir in color' and a masterpiece of post-WWII American cinema.

Tierney's Ellen Berent [is] one of cinema's most chilling psychopaths.

fresh:
As for the brother's death, with Ellen looking on coolly in white robe and shades, it remains one of the most perturbing in the history of Hollywood.

fresh:
Stahl is totally in control, his precise pacing and compositions lending a persuasive dimension of amour fou, while Leon Shamroy's camerawork makes each image a purring pleasure on the eye.
