- Samuel Castro @ Ochoymedio.info [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Un retrato por encargo que a pesar de la actuación de Helen Mirren es llevado por su director, Simon Curtis, a ser una película absolutamente previsible.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies [French]
- Excerpt: What we get here is a film that understands that context matters.
- Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: ‘Woman in Gold’ is part court drama, part survivor’s tale, adeptly relaying the emotional journey on which an odd couple embark in the name of justice related to WWII.
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: Shrewdly compelling – with the incomparable Helen Mirren as the refined yet tartly obdurate propelling force.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: A deeply moving and very satisfying piece of entertainment that knits up seemingly disparate elements in a tapestry of family pain and pride.

- Excerpt: The spirit of Philomena lives on!
- Stefan Pape @ HeyUGuys
- Excerpt: Mirren is as excellent as always in the lead, but the actress is let down by the filmmaker’s inclination to be so cliched on occasion, undermining this narrative with frustrating conventionality.

- Excerpt: Não tão mau como o pintam, mas também não tão bom como poderia ser
- Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz
- Excerpt: The story behind the painting is a fascinating one, and Woman in Gold, directed by Simon Curtis, is an entirely sufficient – if unspectacular – retelling that intercuts Marie Altmann’s early life and emigration from Nazi-ruled Austria with her court battles more than fifty years later.
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: The behind-the-camera contributions–along with Mirren’s presence–mark this as a prestige production, but the unsubtle, prosaic treatment–along with the bland Reynolds–vitiates the effort.
