Edmund Wilson The New Republic 01/23/2013
Though it includes some respectable elements, it is essentially a trashy moving picture based on a trashy story. Go to Full Review Variety Staff Variety 02/23/2012
A mother picture. Not a great picture, but a great mother picture. Its sentiment is terrific. Go to Full Review Robert E. Sherwood LIFE 10/06/2021
In these two roles -- of mother and daughter -- Belle Bennett and Lois Moran give performances of great beauty. Go to Full Review Maybelle Chew Baltimore Afro-American 07/27/2020

09/27/2015 Better than the 1937 version, which is saying a lot. See more 02/25/2013 skip this and she an actress with enough gravitas 2 carry the title role stanwyck's 1937 version a real tear jerker See more 03/19/2009 I am shocked to see that I am the first person to leave a review for this absolutely beautiful silent film. I was lucky enough to see it at a special screening a month or two ago at the Walter Reade Theater in NYC, and the print was in terrific shape. Belle Bennett and Lois Moran are beyond amazing, and Henry King is a much underrated director. I cried all through the last third of the film, and still can't get the film's haunting, bittersweet ending scenes out of my head. If you get the chance to see the silent version of Stella Dallas, consider yourself lucky. Even though Barbara Stanwyck is one of my all-time favorite actresses, Belle Bennett cannot be beat.
