drowns in its sentimentality

It's almost a miracle at how Sirk makes this preposterous melodrama come to life.
May 24, 2003
One of Hollywood's great melodramas, Magnificent Obsession is not in any way spoilt by its nonsensical plot.
January 23, 2009
What people don't quite give Sirk credit for nowadays in their rush to justify his intellectual credentials is the fact that if he didn't necessarily believe in the cheesecake he served up.

Primary credit for mooring the picture to an earthly and earthy plane belongs to the two stars.
July 25, 2009
Sirk, though often celebrated by critics for his ironic approach to the melodrama, takes even his most overwrought scenes quite seriously. Theres not a whiff of condescension to be found...

An extraordinary film about vision.

[Sirk provides] a coolly formal approach to otherwise unwieldy projects.
January 20, 2009
[Sirk's] unreal exaggerations offer a beautiful world of beautiful people and tortured emotions and grand sacrifice to the altar of love.
March 26, 2009
It is a sensitive treatment of faith told in terms of moving, human drama which packs emotional impact.
April 30, 2012
A film requiring as many Kleenex as you can spare, this unabashed appeal to the tear ducts does not fail in its efforts.
June 01, 2015
Every step depends on stifled emotions and closely guarded secrets, resulting in a buildup of operatic passion that endows everyday gestures and inflections with grandeur and nobility.
