Consummate Warner Bros. melodrama, with Bette excellent as misfit and even better as reborn glamour-puss.
August 14, 2003
Classic Davis soaper with Henreid doing the double cigarette bit.
November 28, 2002
The melodrama to end all melodramas.
June 21, 2005
Now, Voyager remains a highly narcotic, swoon-inducing romance in the Bette Davis canon.

If you can resist Bette Davis in fat suit, hideous dress, and monobrow, you're not as gay as you think you are. I guess I kind of liked it.
June 29, 2005
Classic to the max, and with Davis, Henried, and those two cigarettes.

It's all far more complicated than it needs to be, but then again, what would you cut?
March 05, 2011
A superlative, juicy mother-daughter melodrama with top notch performance from Bette Davis, at the top of her form, and the rest of the cast.
June 10, 2005
...romantic and romanticized, sudsy and sentimental...a throwback to an earlier age in Hollywood when movies didn't have to be loud or vulgar to sell a point.
December 26, 2010
Lots of appeal for highly romantic teens.
October 18, 2008
Compulsively watchable four-hankie weepie.
February 04, 2015
It's one of the better 'women pictures,' though it got too weepie, mushy and full of itself for me.
