The attempt to turn the words of one of literature’s most understated, psychologically piercing authors into the stuff of punchy, Hawksian wit comes perilously close to working.

Bogdanovich's bravura display of directorial style is as insightful as it is thrilling.

Sight & Sound

The first and perhaps the final question to be asked about Peter Bogdanovich's adaptation of Henry James' novella is just why he chose to embark on it.

Q Network Film Desk

Daisy Miller ended up doing lasting harm to Bogdanovich’s career and it would take the ’80s television series Moonlighting to turn Cybill Shepherd into a star, but it has been unfairly maligned for too long and deserves a revisit.

Rated: 3/4

Esquire Magazine

It is hard to determine to whom [director Peter Bogdanovich] has done the greater disservice: to his author, by assuming he could bring him to the screen, or to his inamorata, by assuming he could get her to act.

Quentin Tarantino

The New Beverly

By Bogdanovich turning the whole story into one that turns on fast-paced comic repartee, he leans the material into Shepherd's strengths.

Actually, I think that the movie does a good job of selling the tragedy of the ending. Also, while I concede that some of the central performances are grating, I do think that is kind of the point.

Cybill Shepard is miscast in Bogdanovich's otherwise handsome adaptation of Henry James' famous novel.

While it may be dramatically lacking, there's something breezy, cheeky and appealing about Bogdanovich's film, much like its title character. Sumptuously photographed with excellent period detail, long before the Merchant Ivory years, and a strong cast make this pleasant viewing

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Cybill is pretty badly miscast but the film is otherwise very good.
