Caged Ratings & Reviews
Autostraddle
Drew Gregory
There's an intimacy throughout that suggests a life without men might not be so bad if it was allowed to happen on their own terms.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Long before the "women's prison film" got overrun by sadistic wardens, leering male guards, and lesbian trysts among the inmates -- thus becoming the exclusive property of drive-ins and grindhouses -- Warner Bros. offered this hard-hitting drama.
Variety
Variety Staff
A grim, unrelieved study of cause and effect, it adds up to very drab entertainment, unleavened with any measure of escapism.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Deemed harsh in 1950, Cromwell's melodrama about women in prison has lost its edge but the acting of Agnes Moorehead and Hope Emerson, as a monstrously facist matron, is good; the film still offers valuable lesson about how life in prison makes criminals
New York Times
Thomas M. Pryor
There is much in Caged that rings true, but unfortunately there is too much that appears to be contrived.
Movieline
Kevin Hennessey
An unintentionally hilarious women-in-prison expose.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Ranked as the best women-in-prison film ever made, but even if this is so it still doesn't make it very good.
