Dallas Observer - Luke Y. Thompson
If you're the sort who enjoys shedding such in darkened theaters, your must-see summer movie has arrived.
75
Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington
May be corny, but it's also absorbing, sweet and powerfully acted. It's a film about falling in love and looking back on it, and it avoids many of the genre's syrupy dangers.
63
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Sadly, the elements that made the book special did not survive the transition to the screen.

Variety - Robert Koehler
A determined and often affecting romance that doesn't speak down to audiences.
60
Village Voice - Jessica Winter
Amid the sticky-sweet swamp of Jeremy Leven's script, Rowlands and Garner emerge spotless and beatific, lending a magnanimous credibility to their scenes together. These two old pros slice cleanly through the thicket of sap-weeping dialogue and contrivance, locating the terror and desolation wrought by the cruel betrayals of a failing mind.
