The African Queen Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
This is a comedy, a love story, and a tale of adventure, and it is one of the most charming and entertaining movies ever made.
Hallmarkies Podcast
Rachel Wagner
Terrific chemistry in this classic adventure
Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder
Nell Dodson Russell
If you go to see African Queen expecting heavyweight drama, you're In for a disappointment.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
A film that can be watched again and again for its lighthearted characters, abundant humor, and magical chemistry.
Stream on Demand
Sean Axmaker
A classic journey adventure, with a series of obstacles that they meet with resilience and resourcefulness, but the story is how they move from "Mr. Allnut" and "Miss" to Charlie and Rosie, opposites who find strength, support and unexpected love...
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Lindy West
This movie is in the DNA of rom-coms and buddy-cop comedies and fish-out-of-water tales and Indiana Jones (he bickers and fights Germans too! Plus, dirt beard!).
The Hollywood Reporter
THR Staff
The African Queen is top flight entertainment, delightful, different, always interesting.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
Humphrey Bogart finally won his Best Actor Oscar. It's an amusing performance, though it doesn't compare to his work in High Sierra, Casablanca, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, In a Lonely Place, The Caine Mutiny and a handful of other indelible turns.
Slant Magazine
Matthew Connolly
Huston understands the majestic savagery of his surroundings well enough to let it exert some dramatic pressure on what is primarily a buoyant romantic comedy.
PopMatters
Bill Gibron
As a paradigm of why certain actors and filmmakers remain revered several decades after their death or greatest success, The African Queen is more than merely exemplary.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
A more unorthodox adventure story and a more unconventional romantic comedy you couldn't imagine.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Philip Martin
...one of those films that have been so assimilated into the collective unconscious that they feel ubiquitous,to the point that even those who have never seen it probably feel as though they have.

Bogart and Hepburn are truly amazing together.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Huston's romantic adventure, one of the most admired movies in American history, contains iconic performances by Bogart, in his only Oscar-winning role, and Katharine Hepburn.
Variety
William Brogdon
It is a picture with an unassuming warmth and naturalness...
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
The direction is often questionable, but the screenplay (by James Agee, John Collier, Huston, and Peter Viertel from C.S. Forester's novel) is a model of tight construction.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
And so Mr. Huston merits credit for putting this fantastic tale on a level of sly, polite kidding and generally keeping it there, while going about the happy business of engineering excitement and visual thrills.
