Ryan's Daughter Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Vincent Canby
It doesn't transfigure the world. It embalms it.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A disappointing failure of tone, a lush and overblown self-indulgence in which David Lean has given us a great deal less than meets the eye.
Film Threat
Phil Hall
If you are looking for a breath of fresh Eire, you are in the wrong movie.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Arguably David Lean's weakest film, this lushly photographed (it won Oscar for Freddie Young) period Irish romance is rambling and pointless, and feels like an occasion for Sarah Miles (then married to writer Bolt) to show off her beautiful body.
Film Freak Central
Bill Chambers
Some hippie-dippiness dates the picture, but the vrit posturing of Lean's peers looks a lot kitschier in retrospect
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
Ryan's Daughter takes far too long to say much too little.
Variety
Variety Staff
Overlength of perhaps 30 minutes serves to magnify some weaknesses of Robert Bolt's original screenplay, to dissipate the impact of the performances, and to overwhelm outstanding photography and production.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
It's insanely overproduced in Lean's standard epic style, yet somehow the crazy mismatches in scale contribute to the film's sense of romantic delirium.
Baltimore Afro-American
Debbie Brown
David Lean does come through for movie-goers in the second half which is filled with drama and good acting which lead to an almost perfect climax.
TV Guide
The best thing about this much-vaunted, overlong Irish epic love triangle is its gorgeous photography.
