Trailer


Reviews


100
Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington
Blazes up constantly with a stunning, off-kilter brilliance, an incandescent force that sometimes explodes the space between us and the screen.
80
Variety - Emanuel Levy
Achieves a poetic, quasi-religious tone.
75
Philadelphia Inquirer - Carrie Rickey
Develops microclimates of mood without fully developing the same shadings of character.
75
Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt
Equally fascinated by the afflictions of life and the usually squandered opportunities these afford for courage and self-sacrifice.
74
Mr. Showbiz - Unnamed
There's talent to burn in this movie. But the flame is cold.
