The Yearling, based on Florida author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings novel, is one of the best depictions of American rural life that Hollywood has ever produced. [12 July 1998, p.60]
When Jody and Fodderwing are together, something quirky and magical seems to be happening on the screen; when Jody and his deer are together the boy's emotion has a fairytale glitter; and when Jody's mother reveals a streak of humor she's so pleased at her dumb joke that you find yourself staring in disbelief--and laughing. Even Peck seems to blend into the atmosphere.
A family film to treasure. [02 Mar 1990, p.G41]
A classic film that only low-down no-good viewers could fail to like. [18 Dec 2004, p.8]

Warm hearted MGM family classic about growing up. Stunning Technicolor location photography in Florida, deeply felt performances, insightful life lessons, all add up to total wow.
