Entertainment Reviews:
A strangely unexciting but emotionally intriguing Hitchcock costume drama with echoes of Rebecca and Suspicion.

Time Out
Rating: 3/4 --
Hitchcock was trying something new here, a melodrama where the terror comes from within, from the rot created by burying secrets, both for Henrietta and for the nation of Australia as a whole.

From the Front Row
Rating: 9/10 --
What it was is simply, as Truffaut stated, beautiful, and a deeply felt study of how people torture themselves and each other.

Rating: C+ --
Despite star power (Ingrid Bergman), this historical drama is one of Hitchcoçk's few weaak films.

Shot in astonishingly elaborate long takes, this is the kind of film that finds the most brilliant poetry in the slightest movement of the camera -- a paradigm of cinematic expression.

Chicago Reader
Rating: 2/4 --
Talky and static, with little of Hitchcock's trademark suspense. The costume drama was not his metier, and he wisely decided to stay out of the genre after this.

TV Guide
Under Capricorn is overlong and talky, with scant measure of the Alfred Hitchcock thriller tricks.
