Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Though it's far from a flawless movie, Sophie's Choice is a unified and deeply affecting one. Thanks in large part to Miss Streep's bravura performance, it's a film that casts a powerful, uninterrupted spell.

fresh:
So perfectly cast and well-imagined that it just takes over and happens to you. It's quite an experience.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
23 Oct 2004
rotten:
By the end, the accumulated weight and lethargy of the production fails to invest Sophie's fate with the significance Styron achieves.
– Derek Adams,
Time Out,

rotten:
The picture is completely devoid of cinematic interest, adopting instead a tiresome theatrical aesthetic in which showy monologues are filmed in interminable, usually ill-chosen long takes.

Astoundingly tedious.
