Empire Magazine
Mrs. Miniver eventually settles down to be a well-made and quite conventional war-film.

The Spectator
That almost impossible feat, a great war picture that photographs the inner meaning, instead of the outward realism of World War II.

TIME Magazine
Moviegoers immediately sympathized with the story of the Minivers' struggle during the Blitz....Audiences were also entranced by Garson's flawless beauty.
Premiere
The most famous and perhaps most effective propaganda film of World War II.

Regardless of its Hollywood trappings, this remains one of the best movies about a brave era in British history.
