The New Yorker -
The fight against traditionalism has long been won, so the movie’s indignation feels superfluous, but Mike Newell’s direction is solid, the period décor and costumes are a sombre riot of chintz and pleated skirts, and the movie has an air of measured craft and intelligence. [22 & 29 December 2003, p. 166]

The Hollywood Reporter -
Rote characterizations and a trite, even condescending, attitude toward that era's misguided mores robs the film of the satiric punch Todd Haynes delivered in "Far From Heaven."

ReelViews -
The most likely facial expression to be elicited by Mona Lisa Smile is a grimace.

Dallas Observer -
You will leave Mona Lisa Smile with only the slightest hint of the grin every slick studio movie gives you--the grin of reassurance and superiority. But you will not be changed, only out about eight bucks.

Time -
Maybe Wellesley isn't the only injured party here. Can an audience sue for cruel and edifying punishment?
