Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: There's isn't much tension here, and, if anything, the film is stolen by Maggie Smith and Judith Ivey as Finney's sisters.
Customer Reviews
Washington Square
If you're a real romantic like me this movie is not for you. Nobody lives happily ever after and it doesn't seem that anybody learns anything unless you assume that she learns not to trust people from the jerk who tried to marry her for her money! What a waste of my money!
