(1 - 13) of 13 OFCS Rating: 92% Fresh Page   1   4/5 "Sometimes we need sweetness, like when we've just eaten a ration of bitter Neil LaBute or Ridley Scott movies."   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null 93/100 "This great American fable is buoyed by its unwavering faith in the wealth of the human spirit."   Apollo Guide   Dan Jardine B "Frank Capra's classic bittersweet comedy/drama plays as a testament to the family values of small-town America just after WW11."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 4/4 "Combine the characters, the story, the message, and the acting, and it's easy to see why It's a Wonderful Life isn't just a holiday favorite, but a great movie by almost any standards."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/4 "a truly classic, timeless film, one of the few that quite simply never grows old"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 10/10 "George Bailey and Bedford Falls never looked so good!"   DVDTown.com   James Plath 3.5/4 "Despite any nay saying that I might work up, I enjoy watching the film. It has an uncanny ability to silence cynics like myself."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman 4/4 "This is one of those films that are absolutely perfect and timeless."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 6/10 "It isn't a terrible film by any means, and it's easy to see why people revere it."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 5/5 "The story not only stands strong half a century later, but it continues to show up today's formulaic Hollywood films for the vacuous use of celluloid that they are."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline "Deserving of one viewing per year, preferably without the interruption of commercials."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell A+ "Often remembered as sentimental holiday-themed 'Capra-corn'… but in fact leavened by darker themes and a more rigorous moral about self-sacrifice."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 4/4 "The film's entire premise can be summed up with a bit of text from the film: "Remember, George: no man is a failure who has friends.""   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell  (1 - 13) of 13 OFCS Rating: 92% Fresh Page   1
