Critic Reviews for I Remember Mama
All Critics (16) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (16) | Rotten (0) | DVD (1)
A charmer, nevertheless, directed and acted with real delicacy.
Producer-Director George Stevens has transferred the John van Druten play, via a free-wheeling script by DeWitt Bodeen, in all its genial personality to the screen.
Thin, manipulative, and overlong, but frighteningly effective.
This chronicle of one immigrants clan in San Francisco circa 1900 is sentimental and nostalgic, but it's precisely directed by George Stevens and emotionally effective.
A delicate charmer, sometimes precious, but nonetheless fine.
It's a quietly effective work, thanks to its strong sense of time and place.
Audience Reviews for I Remember Mama
You have to love this Irene Dunne performance here even if it borders on the overly sentimental. You hope that you have people around you that are as interesting as those who stop in to visit this San Francisco family.

don't really get why everyone loves this so much or else it's just far too sentimental for my tastes. the outlandish accents and gushing music put me off right away but i stuck it out for 2+ hours thinking there must be something...give me curtiz' 'life with father' any day
Super Reviewer
A really great family drama, a wonderful cast, and a good story. I really liked it.
