It fits within the genre and it is a great show for Davis’s talents.

Davis gives a captivating career-high turn as Charlotte Vale...

It was directed by a certain Irving Rapper, who, quite possibly, may not be a fool. Unfortunately, this is how they degrade the tragic heroine of The Little Foxes, The Letter, Of Human Bondage.

| Dec 15, 2021

This is a movie in which all the elements come together in perfect harmony to give an essentially hackneyed theme the imprint of greatness.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 14, 2021

In this conflict between inner and outer beauty, loving oneself without the affirmation of others, altruism, self-truth vs societal expectation and discovering that happiness comes from within, Now, Voyager -- and its leading lady -- soars.

| Aug 5, 2021

This film is exquisitely crafted and passionately acted.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 4, 2021

Bette Davis, as the neurotic daughter, Claude Rains, the doctor, and Paul Henreid, combine to make a fine production.

It may be a standard tale of forbidden romance, but it dwells on an uncommon twosome; these past-their-prime souls aren't the typical fare for a melodramatic love yarn.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Aug 13, 2020

Tender, poignant and lusciously calibrated by Rapper, Now, Voyager is one of the few romantic melodramas which manages a timelessness due to its almost accidental universality.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 11, 2020

...a part that's perfect for Davis, which makes it odd that Now, Voyager feels the need to do so much of the work for her.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 3, 2020

Davis' performance anchors [the story], preventing it from flying off into the realm of camp, turning an outlandish story into one painfully human and universal.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jan 9, 2020

the emotional resonance of Charlotte and Tina's surrogate mother-daughter connection is so strong that the film's plot contrivances are easy to forgive

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 27, 2019

Now, Voyager contains one classic image and one classic line of dialogue. As for the rest? It's soap opera par excellence.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 9, 2019

It's one of the better 'women pictures,' though it got too weepie, mushy and full of itself for me.

| Original Score: B | Feb 4, 2015

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.

| Original Score: A- | Mar 5, 2011

Lots of appeal for highly romantic teens.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 26, 2010

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.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 28, 2010

It's all far more complicated than it needs to be, but then again, what would you cut?

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 27, 2010

Compulsively watchable four-hankie weepie.
