How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsFeel good factor film
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 November 2018
I am 67 years old and have watched this film since I was quite small. Cannot remember since when but it still has the same impact upon me all these years later. I believe in angels. If you remember to stop and stare once in a while, amidst the hub bub of life, you shall surely gather the goodness that life has to offer.... you alone are responsible for your life and its fortune. BUT, treat it kindly and you shall be rewarded. Maybe not on earth, but surely, in heaven, where we all shall meet again. God Bless. xx

1.0 out of 5 starsMisleading that the movie has been converted to colour
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2018
I absolutely love this movie and thats why i rented it, although the cover is in colour the movie is black and white. THE REASON i rented this movie os because of the cover being in colour, as i have the black and white version on cd. I WOULD NOT of rented if the cover was not in colour. I know there was a release with this movie converted in colour and that is the reason i wanted to watch it. i think since you have the cover in colour it is misleading

1.0 out of 5 stars Underwhelming
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 January 2021

Dire film. I'd not bothered with it for 43 years and everyone looks at you like you've grown two heads when you say you haven't seen it. So I did. Massively underwhelming and dull. And a tear-jerker? Nope.

Always heard this film was a classic and wonderful Christmas entertainment, it was awful with what felt like hours of shouting from an angry man, has to turn it off.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is not a Christmas film
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 December 2018

Heard so many good things about this being the best Christmas film ever. For starters, it’s not even a Christmas film. The first hour and 15 is just about a building company!! The film is depressing. Wouldn’t recommend

I expected this film to be in colour not black & white especially paying Top Notch for it. My Husband bought a DVD of the same film & that cost Him 10pence & that WAS IN COLOUR. VERY DISSAPOINTED

Overlong fantasy full of crushing sentimentality delivered through overacting. It's quite popular.

Can't understand why this is James Stewart's favourite film. It did nothing for me.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 December 2020

It was a very shouty film .... nobody spoke- everyone shouted which I found very stressful. The beginning was beautiful and moving and the last scene was moving but this was not the great film everybody made it our to be and, in fact had the exact opposite effect that was promised ....

1.0 out of 5 stars This version is not the remastered colour one
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 December 2021

This is my absolute favourite Christmas movie and it takes me back to my childhood memories of Christmas celebrations. Unfortunately, I paid to view and it is the black and white edition, which is misleading because the the picture advertising it is in colour
