The New Yorker

Audrey Hepburn is forced to overdo her gamine charm in this horrible concoction about a Cinderella among the Long Island rich.

Mr. Wilder, as a rule, specializes in the most caustic screen commentaries on our life and times: here he shows that he can excel, too, in that lush, whimsical, fairy-tale kind of comedy.

Sight & Sound

A simple Cinderella story set in ritzy Long Island society, it has pleasant, at times agreeably witty, dialogue and proves to be an enjoyable matinée entertainment.

Kansas City Star

Sabrina is not the type of comedy calculated to send anyone rolling into the aisles, but it is a bright, polished piece which imparts a warm glow of humor.

A number of factors besides the acting make Sabrina a top comedy, the direction by Billy Wilder... The sets are lavish and beautiful.

Divertido, inteligente, inovador e muito original. Obra prima da mais alta qualidade, um presente da era de ouro do cinema que envelheceu tão bem como o vinho, sem perder o brilho da novidade.

Surprisingly superficial. Believing that 22 year old girl would be happy with a 40 year old grouch...? Can't understand why a supposedly talented director would touch a project like that.

A delight. Classic romantic comedy helmed by the genius Billy Wilder, and brought to life by three icons of cinema. The luminescence of Audrey Hepburn cannot be contained from her first moments on screen until the credits roll. William Holden as the rakish younger brother has a wonderful blend of smarmy charm, and we get to see some amazing comedy pop. And then there's Bogart. The expertise, the emotion, it's all right there. Highly recommended.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Still great by today's standards. A little creepy how obsessed Sabrina is with the brother, but her arc from the beginning to the end really makes you care about her journey.

So disappointed. One of Bogart's last films and certainly not a Casablanca. To me just a 2 Star effort with a lot of money spent on a not very good movie.
