CRITICS OF "Brief Encounter"

Times (UK)

One of cinema's classic love stories.

November 05, 2015

Resource

Time Out

Sheer perfection-the gold standard of tragic romances whose influence can still be seen to this day.

October 09, 2012

Resource

Scene-Stealers.com

Brief Encounter makes an illicit love affair more than that, giving the doomed romance more of a soul than a thousand tragic romances since then.

May 31, 2016

Resource

New York Times

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.'

May 20, 2003

Radio Times

The leads are outstanding, but credit should also go to the forgotten Cyril Raymond, whose decent dullness as Johnson's husband makes those stolen Thursdays seem so special.

November 05, 2015

Resource

Little White Lies

Romance and goodness are evoked with equal power and from these conflicting impulses, voluptuous demons spring eternal.

November 09, 2015

Resource

Turner Classic Movies Online

... still embraced as one of the most romantic films ever made, and it has earned its reputation.

May 04, 2012

Resource

Observer (UK)

Noël Coward's Brief Encounter is, to my mind, not only the most mature work Mr Coward has yet prepared for the cinema, but one of the most emotionally honest and deeply satisfactory films that have ever been made in this country.

November 03, 2015

Resource

Time Out

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.

February 09, 2006

Resource

Time Out

One of the most vivid, impassioned and painfully believable love stories ever committed to celluloid.

November 02, 2015

Resource

Variety

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

Chicago Reader

Rarely rises above the level of the old women's magazines.
