Roman Holiday Reviews

A lovely "Golden Age of Hollywood" romance that stands the test of time. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 28, 2025

It's as if the close-up was invented for [Audrey Hepburn].

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | May 17, 2024

Rome is the perfect backdrop for this royal-commoner romance (and war of wits).

| Oct 23, 2023

This is as good as you’ve heard.

| May 27, 2023

It is purely a rom-com, filmed with warmth and style – as sweet and inconsequential as a scoop of gelato on a summer’s day.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 13, 2023

I never want to see Roman Holiday again and I regret the fact that I wasted so much time on it. I might put it on a list of my top 100 least favorite films but it would never be anywhere near a list of my favorite romantic films.

A rom-com colossus, and one that has been aped and emulated in everything from Notting Hill to Trainwreck to Jennifer Lopez’s recent Marry Me...

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 4, 2023

...a wonderful story filled with good humor and a lovely romance.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 25, 2022

...a somewhat overlong and exceedingly deliberate endeavor that undeniably grows more and more absorbing as it unfolds...

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 15, 2021

An utterly disarming romantic comedy. The "Mouth of Truth" scene is a genuine classic, but the film is packed with equally delightful interludes.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 19, 2020

Hepburn is a marvel, mixing deep pathos with a restless yearning. She also proves to be a gifted comic. I cannot praise her performance effusively enough.

| Original Score: A+ | Sep 15, 2020

The marrying of a classic movie with the most up to date technology makes this release a must-have.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 15, 2020

None of the events are terribly thrilling or romantic, and the unhurried casualness with which they're all approached borders on boring.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Aug 23, 2020

William Wyler, an expert at heavy drama, here proves equally adroit in handling a gay romantic comedy.

| Nov 14, 2019

With Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn turning in superb performances, Roman Holiday is 118 minutes of sheer entertainment.

| Aug 30, 2019

The best comedy ever written on the horrors of being a royal.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 9, 2018

What a never-to-be-forgotten brief holiday it was, befitting one of filmdom's true regal princesses.

| Aug 2, 2015

Immaculately directed by William Wyler, and written and played with style and grace, this is a film to treasure, both for its endearing action and marvellous performances.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 10, 2014

Only the big screen can do justice to its scintillating monochrome images.

| Jul 21, 2013

As welcome as a cooling gelato on a hot summer's day.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 19, 2013
