Critic Reviews for Woman in a Dressing Gown
All Critics (14) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (11) | Rotten (3)
Despite the over-facile resolution of the last scene, one's final impression is of an emotional drama of considerable intensity.
This is both a reminder of British sexual mores in the darker days of the Fifties and one of the first attempts in a genre that was later referred to as kitchen-sink drama.
An unmissable rerelease.
It's utterly compelling, both as a historical document and as heartbreakingly plausible drama.
A very worthy rediscovery.
The most affecting aspect of the film is its sense of compassion: we're never asked to condemn or condone, merely to understand.
