Reviews
|
Chicago Tribune -
Blazes up constantly with a stunning, off-kilter brilliance, an incandescent force that sometimes explodes the space between us and the screen.
|
|
Variety -
Achieves a poetic, quasi-religious tone.
|
|
Philadelphia Inquirer -
Develops microclimates of mood without fully developing the same shadings of character.
|
|
Christian Science Monitor -
Equally fascinated by the afflictions of life and the usually squandered opportunities these afford for courage and self-sacrifice.

Mr. Showbiz -
There's talent to burn in this movie. But the flame is cold.
