Chicago Tribune
A masterpiece. Davis' great naughty Southern belle role, co-starring Henry Fonda and Fay Bainter. [07 Jul 2006, p.C7]

Jezebel is populated almost entirely by unsavory characters, foremost among them the woman of the title.

The New Yorker
A dazzling romantic melodrama.

Empire
Bette Davis is captivating in this epic study of Southern chivalry.

Variety
William Wyler’s direction draws an engrossing cross-section of old southern manners and hospitality. It’s undoubtedly faithful to a degree, and not without its charm. At times it’s even completely captivating.

The New York Times
It is still an interesting film, though, in spite of our sniffs at its climax; colorful, generally well-performed and admirably directed by William Wyler.

Es una película que, a priori, parece bastante melodramática, con una premisa igual que otras tantas. Pero de principio a fin, te mantiene enganchado por las actuaciones y los diálogos, que rompen con lo común o con la normalidad. Es decir, una jovencita rebelde y malcriada termina por colmar la paciencia de su prometido, quien, tras aguantar muchas cosas, se va para volver dentro de un año a causa del rebrote de fiebre amarilla. Fácilmente podrían reencontrarse y tener un final feliz, pero no. El joven llega casado, lo que destruye las intenciones de la jovencita. Sin embargo, ella se redime, a mi entender, al cuidar de ese joven incluso cuando su vida se pone en riesgo. Es por esa frescura que se convierte, para mí, en una gran película.
