Although reams have been written about the mutilation of Orson Welles' second feature, what remains of it is nevertheless a major accomplishment.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
While telling this story, haltingly and clumsily, the movie runs from burdensome through heavy and dull to bad. It stutters and stumbles as Welles submerges Tarkington's story in a mess of radio and stage technique.
Manny Farber, The New Republic
Rotten
Orson Welles devotes 9,000 feet of film to a spoiled brat who grows up as a spoiled, spiteful young man. This film hasn't a single moment of contrast; it piles on and on a tale of woe, but without once striking at least a true chord of sentimentality.

The emotional sense of America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries is so palpable you can taste it.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
