Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
It's about change, acceptance and love, and it rounds those three bases very nicely, even if it never quite gets to home.

Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt
John Turteltaub directed the drama, which lapses into medical jargon and new-age clichés near the end, but it scores telling points with its respect for intelligence and optimistic view of human potential.

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Put simply, this movie is dumb.

San Francisco Chronicle - Peter Stack
But this soggy, sentimental tour through a rural dreamworld of salt-of- the-earth versus supercharged intelligence never quite gets deep enough to touch the soul -- or to make sense.

San Francisco Examiner - Barbara Shulgasser
As always, Duvall is magnificent. Even in this small part, he manages to give one of the most stirring performances in the movie.
