Reviews
"This is the all-time great, curl-up-on-the-sofa-with-a-cup-of-tea movie. Not only is it beautifully photographed, but it also contains enough emotional strength to hold your attention for all of its two-hour running time. And it's even better when watched on the big screen. *****" Total Film
"A genuine American classic. *****" Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
"The only Yuletide favourite to pivot around an attempted suicide, Capra’s post-war fable is a fascinating melange of social and personal impulses and the questionable charms of home. James Stewart is impeccable as George Bailey [...] Funny, compelling and moving." Ben Walters, Time Out (London)
