The pathetic, social-climbing heroine of Booth Tarkington's novel was never better played than by Hepburn, who brought a fierce determination, clutching coyness, and tragic optimism to the part.

George Stevens' poignant adaptation of the Tarkington famous novel is one of the few Ameriacn films of its era to examine the impact of social class in a realistic way.

The flaws stand out like bad lawn jockeys.

Hepburn is real reason to seek this one out

There's much humor that comes out of the believable characters portrayed and the pain they suffer from their plight.

Stevens' deadpan-humane approach dilutes the acid of Booth Tarkington's social critique
November 13, 2007
Stevens's talent for stepping away from the plotline and creating intimate, casual, and naturalistic moments is given plenty of opportunity here, as it would not be in his later superproductions.

Hepburn is heartwarming
New York Times

Alice Adams would be forgotten if it weren't for Hepburn's typically charismatic performance as the woman who turns social climbing into an art form.

Hepburn is magnificent as the small-town social climber, although the script so softens Booth Tarkington's novel.
November 13, 2007
That George Stevens' direction captures the wistfulness of Katharine Hepburn's superb histrionism, and yet has not sacrificed audience values at the altar of too much drabness and prosaic realism, is an achievement of no small order.
