"The result is an instant classic -- rich, dense, resonant, powerful."
— Jay Carr, Boston Globe
"This enchanted tale vividly shows how love heals and nurtures barren souls, makes them flourish like abundant Edens."
— Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
"Screenwriter Caroline Thompson and director Agnieszka Holland have turned Frances Hodgson Burnett's rather gothic 1911 children's book into an evocative, beautifully realized picture."
— Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
"The film is gorgeous to look at, from its period accouterments to its wanderings in explored space (the house is full of secret passageways) to its use of color."
— Johanna Steinmetz, Chicago Tribune
"It is a work of beauty, poetry and deep mystery, and watching it is like entering for a time into a closed world where one's destiny may be discovered."
— Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"It is, first and foremost, a visual delight, a Victorian picture book come to life, from its brief prologue in India through its darkly enchanted recreation of Misselthwaite Manor on the Yorkshire moors."
— David Ansen, Newsweek
