Pauline Kael The New Yorker Audrey Hepburn is forced to overdo her gamine charm in this horrible concoction about a Cinderella among the Long Island rich. Mar 28, 2024 Full Review Guardian Staff Guardian 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. Mar 28, 2024 Full Review Karel Reisz 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. Mar 28, 2024 Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal Ultimately, both the 1954 original and the 1995 remake are modestly engaging romances about a woman unsure of where to go and a man regretting everywhere he hasn’t been. Wilder's take fares better at mining the more melancholy moods of this love triangle. Rated: 3/5 Jun 17, 2025 Full Review KC Star Staff 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. Mar 28, 2024 Full Review Deseret News Staff Deseret News (Salt Lake City) A number of factors besides the acting make Sabrina a top comedy, the direction by Billy Wilder... The sets are lavish and beautiful. Mar 28, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

John N Classic Movie ! Great story, cast and performances ! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/31/25 Full Review Sheilah L Awesome movie! Delightful! Clothes were spectacular! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Fabrícia F 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review tony d 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Jarrod R 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 06/07/24 Full Review Allen R 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
