Sophie's Choice is a handsome, doggedly faithful and astoundingly tedious adaptation of William Styron's best-seller. Full Review

Chicago Reader
The picture is completely devoid of cinematic interest, adopting instead a tiresome theatrical aesthetic in which showy monologues are filmed in interminable, usually ill-chosen long takes. Full Review
David Sterritt
Christian Science Monitor
The overall result is a serious though harrowing journey into the dark corners of this century, marked by a compassionate approach and even a fillip of optimism at the end. Full Review

Thanks in large part to Miss Streep's bravura performance, it's a film that casts a powerful, uninterrupted spell. Full Review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
The film is a respectable, claustrophobic and slick piece of work, and cinematographer Nestor Almendros' color strategies - Rembrandt-like light at night, lemony tones during the day, desaturated sepia at Auschwitz - are arty to a fault. [14 Dec 1982] Full Review
