"Literary adaptations rarely come more intelligent than this. A beautiful, haunting masterpiece from start to finish."
- Film4

"Though it's far from a flawless movie, Sophie's Choice is a unified and deeply affecting one. Thanks in large part to Miss Streep's bravura performance, it's a film that casts a powerful, uninterrupted spell."
- Janet Maslin, New York Times

"So perfectly cast and well-imagined that it just takes over and happens to you. It's quite an experience."
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
