Entertainment Reviews:
A slack and superficial adaptation of Lawrence's novel.
Time Out
It is a curiously aimless, unfocused film which will excite neither the art nor the commercial audience.

Esquire Magazine
An attractive, thoughtful adaptation of a difficult novel. Lawrence's sexual politics may have dated badly, but the cinematography and acting still exude quality.

Rating: B+ --
Jack Clayton's adaptation of D.H. Lawrence's autobiographical novel is intelligent, exquisitely shot, and well acted, if also too restrained.

Rating: 3/5 --
D.H. Lawrence has always proved a tricky test for filmmakers, but this is certainly one fo the better translations, thanks in no small part to the cinematography.

Empire Magazine
The best one can promise those who like the book is that they will probably not be greatly disturbed by the adaptation and will see some elements capably dramatized.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
Somehow, this plainly euphemistic attitude toward Lawrence's fierce and fine account runs through the whole handsome picture and hobbles its real potential punch.

Description by OLDIES.com:
A young man's life is adversely affected by the emotional manipulation of his domineering mother in this lush adaptation of D.H. Lawrence's classic novel.
Product Description:
The Motion Picture Production Code was still in effect (albeit weakly) when SONS AND LOVERS was filmed in 1960, so don't expect a thoroughly frank and faithful adaptation of the D.H. Lawrence novel. Set in an English mining town, the film focuses on Paul Morel (Dean Stockwell), the sensitive son of a roughhewn, alcoholic miner (Trevor Howard) and his gentle, repressed wife (Wendy Hiller). Intent on becoming an artist, Paul is not above depending upon the financial kindnesses of the young women of the town. Many of the girls carry a torch for him, but his strong bonds to his mother leave him emotionally sapped. Freddie Francis's evocative, grimy industrial-town cinematography won him an Academy Award. Despite censorial restrictions, this admirably captures the essence of the dour Lawrence original.
