Stella Dallas Reviews
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
King Vidor's tasteful direction and Stanwyck's heartbreaking performance as the self-sacrificing mother are responsible for the emotional power of this melodrama, recently evaluated and elevated by both feminist and auteurist critics.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...improves as it goes along...
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Barbara Stanwyck gives a sensational brassy performance as the ambitious poor girl trying to make a better life for herself by marrying above her class.
The Dissolve
Scott Tobias
Stella Dallas itself-sentimental without question, building to an act of heartbreaking selflessness-earns the copious tears it jerks, embodying the "weepie" in every respect, yet more complicated and more flush with genuine emotion.
Newport This Week (RI)
Loren King
The mother of all sacrificial mother movies, "Stella Dallas," should have earned an Oscar for Barbara Stanwyck in 1937 for what is arguably her finest performance.

Barbara Stanwyck flings her voice around like a lasso.
