Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood Reviews
The images that Director Andrew Sinclair has added to his film adaptation do not complement Thomas' language; they detract from it.
Too many words, I'm convinced, for the screen. It's not simply the quantity of words, though. It's also their ornateness. They overflow the ears and get into the eyes.

Writer-director Andrew Sinclair has a wonderful feel for his material, and a happy hand in matching it to its setting.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
The film, faithful to the poem, offers an endearing, often humorous, examination of Welsh life.

A loving adaptation and...a fine introduction to Thomas's poetry
TV Guide's Movie Guide
All things considered, this is a fairly good adaptation of an impossible play to adapt.
