...sober enough to tell us that real people will die, but it's also saying [that] if you just suffer through it... all of our traditions will maintain.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 9, 2024

Garson's Mrs. Miniver comes to represent the stirring, steadfast heart of the community — if not the nation as a whole.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 2, 2024

But there's enough heart and spirit to make this an enduring classic.

Greer Garson shines in this unapologetically sentimental look at the lives of a British family during the early days of World War II, which won the Oscar for Best Picture.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 2, 2023

It’s a sentimental – yet wholly effective – family drama.

Greer Garson invests Mrs. Miniver with an extraordinary quality of grace and good manners... The whole film, indeed, is executed with a high degree of tact, often with a moving sincerity.

M-G-M's wartime salute to gallant England, engineered to make the audience choke up... [A] generally offensive picture.

| Jul 28, 2022

The choice acting of Greer Garson as Mrs. Miniver is marked by delicate stresses, intelligently placed. Bright and brave as Mrs. Miniver is, there are moments when anxiety and heartache are evident in the serene and steady eyes.

On no account miss this inspiring tribute to the courage of our women under conditions of total war.

Greer Garson, whose playing is superb, is the central character, but this is more nearly a picture of ensemble playing than one of stars.

| Jan 5, 2022

Balancing pathos with gentle comedy, humor with stark tragedy, Mrs. Miniver is rich in those human qualities that give a drama life and real humanity.

| Jan 5, 2022

Here, at last, is a film which doesn't fumble its great and simple message, a deeply humane and humorous film more stirring than any drama of vast spectacle.

| Jan 5, 2022

By all means see this film, but don't expect to escape emotion.

| Jan 5, 2022

The drama is real, the humor human, the romance tender, the war cruel, the courage invincible.

You may do some weeping at Mrs Miniver. I did. We have had no pIcture which has shown so well the British spirit at its most heroic during this war. And that's a pretty moving thing I tell you.

Mrs. Miniver is strong medicine. But these are strong times. To see it is a cleansing and searing experience.

William Wyler has done some fine work in the past. But Mrs. Miniver would seem to be his masterpiece to date. It is not only his direction that is so magnificent, it is also his selection of the cast.

I don't know when a movie has stirred me so, and I thank Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon, and everybody connected with the film for two hours I shall never want to forget.

| Jan 4, 2022

It is truly one of the prouder movie efforts of all time, and it was contrived that way, intentionally, by a set of creators who know how to create.

| Jan 4, 2022

It is one of those rare pictures in which every insignificant little scene or sequence is so embellished with touches of mirth, warmth and beauty as to make every inch of film entertaining.
