- The writing-directing team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger is best known for Technicolor wonders The Red Shoes and The Tales of Hoffman, but I Know Where I’m Going!, a far less famous black-and-white romantic fable, is as charming as anything in their oeuvre.
- 100The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawThe happiness and innocence in this film are beyond compare.
- 88Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreCompared to the gravitas of “The 49th Parallel” and “One of Our Aircraft is Missing,” and the strained metaphors of “A Canterbury Tale,” “I Know Where I’m Going” is downright fluffy, feather light, despite a harrowing peril-at-sea sequence that is as polished as anything from the filming tank/rear projection era in black and white film.
- 83The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayThe A.V. ClubNoel MurrayThe film isn't as deep or ambitious as some of the Powell-Pressburger films that followed, but it's still a delightful love story, blessed with attractive leads, lovely locations, and witty dialogue.
- This simple story line is developed with considerable imagination, wit and emotional insight into a thoroughly en-joyable and exhilarating romantic experience.
- 80Time OutGeoff AndrewTime OutGeoff AndrewFull of well-integrated symbols (islands, hawks, a whirlpool) and lyrically shot in monochrome by Erwin Hillier, it's all quite beautiful, combining romance, comedy, suspense and a sense of the supernatural to winning effect.
