...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.

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.
October 18, 2008
Compulsively watchable four-hankie weepie.
August 16, 2003
Consummate Warner Bros. melodrama, with Bette excellent as misfit and even better as reborn glamour-puss.
June 29, 2005
Classic to the max, and with Davis, Henried, and those two cigarettes.

It's one of the better 'women pictures,' though it got too weepie, mushy and full of itself for me.
December 26, 2010
Lots of appeal for highly romantic teens.

Now, Voyager remains a highly narcotic, swoon-inducing romance in the Bette Davis canon.
November 28, 2002
The melodrama to end all melodramas.

It's all far more complicated than it needs to be, but then again, what would you cut?
August 14, 2003
Classic Davis soaper with Henreid doing the double cigarette bit.

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.
