[A] powerful, if cumbersome prestige picture.

Time Out
William Wyler's heartbreaking postwar ballad seems even more radical today than it did in its Oscar-thick heyday. It's as non-propagandistic as an unemployment line.

Village Voice
As far as this review is concerned, it is the best picture to come out of Hollywood since the end of the war.

New York Daily News
This happy result is entirely due to the fact that... The Best Years of Our Lives is one of the most excellently made films to come from Hollywood for a long time.

By all rights, the homecoming drama The Best Years of Our Lives should have been another well intentioned film left to the dated dustbins of history, but World War II vet William Wyler put more soul into this picture than anything else in his career.
