The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie Ratings & Reviews
LarsenOnFilm
Josh Larsen
... misguidedly plays like a tragic romance.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
An often extraordinary movie centered on an extraordinarily complex character.
Los Angeles Free Press
Paul Schrader
Miss [Maggie] Smith's performance is in the best English tradition of such elocutionary actresses as Beatrice Lilly and Edith Evans.
The Lonely Film Critic
Tomas Trussow
Growing up and leaving our childhoods behind is such a furious tangle of triumph and heartbreak, and this seemingly innocuous story about a capricious teacher and her doting girls captures it all so succinctly, and so beautifully.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Maggie Smith deservedly won the 1969 Best Actress Oscar for playing a charismatic, authoritarian teacher in a Scottish girls school in the early 1930s.
Variety
Variety Staff
Maggie Smith's tour-de-force performance as a school-teacher slipping into spinsterhood is one of several notable achievements in this sentimental and macabre personal tragedy.

Betsy Bozdech
Smith plays all of Miss Brodie's highs and lows beautifully; it's easy to see why everyone is drawn to her, yet at the same time want to shake her for being such a drama queen.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...stripped of [star Maggie Smith's] presence, there's no doubt that the film would be a complete bore.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
Smith is excellent -- and won an Oscar for the role -- helping to elevate the film above what can often be a somewhat stuffy character study.
Nick's Flick Picks
Nick Davis
Some memorable performances don't quite make Jean Brodie feel like real cinema.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Maggie Smith in one of those technically stunning, emotionally distant performances that the British are so damn good at.
