Reviews

Washington Post -
A gigantic achievement, an endowment of riches.
|
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
This movie moves so confidently and looks so good it seems incredible that it's a directorial debut.
|
|
Variety -
Costner's directing style is fresh and assured. A sense of surprise and humor accompany Dunbar's adventures at every turn, twisting the narrative gently this way and that and making the journey a real pleasure.

|
Washington Post -
Costner (with Michael Blake's screenplay) creates a vision so childlike, so willfully romantic, it's hard to put up a fight.
|
|
Chicago Tribune -
A three-hour delight
The movie generates much of its power by being so life-affirming at a time when people feel nervous about the future. [9 Nov 1990, Friday, p.C]
