Under Capricorn Ratings & Reviews
InSession Film
Kristin Battestella
Only the divine uninterrupted tiara ball sequence captures the guilt and performance so lacking in the rest of the film.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
The plot and pacing crawl along, unable to keep up interest, trudging through exposition even when unsurprising revelations finally come - and despite a rather satisfying conclusion.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Under Capricorn has long been considered one of Alfred Hitchcock's weakest features, even by Hitchcock himself. And rightly so.
Patheos
Eve Tushnet
It's got all the Technicolor pleasures a soundstage can offer, and high-stakes moral arcs aplenty.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
Hitchcock was trying something new here, a melodrama where the terror comes from within, from the rot created by burying secrets, both for Henrietta and for the nation of Australia as a whole.
PopMatters
Michael Barrett
What it was is simply, as Truffaut stated, beautiful, and a deeply felt study of how people torture themselves and each other.
TV Guide
Talky and static, with little of Hitchcock's trademark suspense. The costume drama was not his metier, and he wisely decided to stay out of the genre after this.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Giddily atypical in its style even as it explores lurid new byways of Hitchcock's familiar obsessions.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Despite star power (Ingrid Bergman), this historical drama is one of Hitchcok's few weaak films.
Variety
Variety Staff
Under Capricorn is overlong and talky, with scant measure of the Alfred Hitchcock thriller tricks.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The character-driven dark film has a poignant romanticism that is not thought of when you think of a Hitchcock film.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
It seems that neither Miss Bergman nor Mr. Hitchcock has tangled here with stuff of any better than penny-dreadful substance and superfical demands.
Atlantic City Weekly
Lori Hoffman
A rare bad Hitchcock movie
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Shot in astonishingly elaborate long takes, this is the kind of film that finds the most brilliant poetry in the slightest movement of the camera -- a paradigm of cinematic expression.
