Spain | FilmAffinity | One of director Luis Buñuel's favorite films, as he confessed in his autobiography "Mi Ășltimo suspiro" (1982): "I was enthusiastic about 'Portrait of Jennie', with Jennifer Jones, an unknown, mysterious and poetic work. I declared somewhere my affection for this film, and Selznick wrote to thank me." | POS |
United States | Slant | "Portrait of Jennie is not only an unabashedly romantic melodrama but also a fascinating ghost story." | POS |
United States | Variety | "Portrait of Jennie is an unusual screen romance. The story of an ethereal romance between two generations is told with style, taste and dignity." | POS |
United States | The New York Times | "Deficient and disappointing" | NEG |
