Laura Ratings & Reviews
Stannyfield
July 14, 2025
Man, that detective does NOT know how to do police work.
Jefferson Bittencourt
June 8, 2025
Masterpiece of direction, cinematography and acting. Laura is a jewel of cinema. Everything is quite right in this movie. A master degree of mise en scene.
TIME Magazine
A highly polished and debonair whodunit.
ColeSmithey.com
Cole Smithey
Great suspense.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Less a crime film than a study in levels of obsession, Laura is one of those classic works that leave their subject matter behind and live on the strength of their seductive style.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
A hypnotic and deathlessly interpretable experience.
Variety
Variety Staff
Gene Tierney makes an appealing figure as the art executive and Vincent Price is convincing as a weak-willed ne'er-do-well.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
A camp classic of a very particular variety.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Steve Crum
Classic in the true sense with great theme music to boot.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
This kooky film noir is so beautifully directed by Otto Preminger that all its protruding elements seem to slide delicately and accurately into place.
Reno Gazette-Journal
Forrest Hartman
At times, the plotting takes leaps that the film's 87-minute run doesn't adequately support; but overall this is a gem.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...slightly overrated...
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
A genuine classic -- not only of film noir but of film, period -- director Otto Preminger's adaptation of Vera Caspary's novel lathers the murder-mystery with a heavy dollop of kinkiness.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
The story is a good whodunnit, although it probably isn't half as clever as a mystery as it is a character study.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
A masterfully complex -- and frequently campy -- portrait of all-consuming romantic self-delusion.
Apollo Guide
Brian Webster
A great antidote to the 'old movies are no fun' attitude many people slip into as soon as they learn a film is in black and white.
New York Times
Thomas M. Pryor
The picture on the whole is close to being a top-drawer mystery.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The materials of a B-grade crime potboiler are redeemed by Waldo Lydecker, walking through every scene as if afraid to step in something.
