The Member of the Wedding Ratings & Reviews
The Nation
Manny Farber
Though the Member of the Wedding, Carson McCullers's prize-winning play about the last days of childhood, betrays its stage origin on the screen, it has been made into a somewhat amusing, and moving, sometimes improbable picture.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Zinnemann manages to retain McCullers' narrative poetry in this sterling adaptation, and remains one of those aching, forlorn vintage classics worthy of greater renown.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
The film often betrays its stage roots, with its single setting and long stretches of dialogue, but Zinnemann wisely steps back and allows the actors to carry it.
The Retro Set
Nathanael Hood
[The film] mystifies me. I've seen the film three times, yet I still feel no closer to understanding this deceptively dense, painfully poignant story of confused, wounded adolescence.
Out Magazine
Armond White
The Member of the Wedding is a lyrical experience; you have to feel its rhythm and emotion, not just the literal meaning of its language.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
Julie Harris earned a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her performance, admittedly a tad too mannered and theatrical for my taste. The real acting fireworks come from the remarkable Ethel Waters.
TV Guide
An overly static adaptation of Carson McCullers' 1950 Broadway hit about the end of adolescence, saved by the playwright's dialogue.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Zinnemann's evocation of painful childhood boasts lyrical dialogue from screipters Edna and Edward Anhalt, who altered very little of Carson McCuller's terrif book, first adapted to the stage in 1950.
Dispatch-Tribune Newspapers
Steve Crum
Wonderful, moving play-based film featuring great Ethel Waters performance.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
The story is pleasantly enacted and the scenery and skiing are superb.
PopcornQ
Brandon Judell
Classic performances.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Dull and droopy -- a stage transplant that didn't take.
