Reviews


100
Washington Post - Hal Hinson
A gigantic achievement, an endowment of riches.
100
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
This movie moves so confidently and looks so good it seems incredible that it's a directorial debut.
90
Variety - Unnamed
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.
90
Washington Post - Desson Thomson
Costner (with Michael Blake's screenplay) creates a vision so childlike, so willfully romantic, it's hard to put up a fight.
88
Chicago Tribune - Gene Siskel
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]
