Empire - Unnamed
Better than Ghost but not as good as When Harry Met Sally, here's a dating movie where the other woman really should have got her man.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Weir is good with his actors and good, too, at putting a slight spin on some of the obligatory scenes.
70
Variety - Unnamed
Although a thin premise endangers its credibility at times, Green Card is a genial, nicely played romance.
63
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
Don't look for the originality and grit that distinguished Weir's Australian films Picnic at Hanging Rock and Gallipoli, Green Card has all the heft of a potato chip. But Depardieu's charm recognizes no language barriers, and MacDowell, the revelation of sex, lies, and videotape, proves a fine, sexy foil.

TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
Peter Weir's talent, so evident in his Australian work, remained dormant here, but Depardieu's lively performance is a redeeming factor.
