Stahl's use of space and the performances in Leave Her to Heaven...suggest he was at least the equal of the much-exalted Sirk as an artist of melodrama.

A 'film noir in color' and a masterpiece of post-WWII American cinema.
Keith Uhlich, Time Out New York
Fresh
Tierney's Ellen Berent [is] one of cinema's most chilling psychopaths.
Melissa Anderson, Village Voice
Fresh
As for the brother's death, with Ellen looking on coolly in white robe and shades, it remains one of the most perturbing in the history of Hollywood.
Anthony Lane, New Yorker
Fresh
Stahl is totally in control, his precise pacing and compositions lending a persuasive dimension of amour fou, while Leon Shamroy's camerawork makes each image a purring pleasure on the eye.
Tom Milne, Time Out
