Reviews
|
New Times (L.A.) -
A genuinely affecting movie that approaches its adult themes with intelligence, maturity, and rare authenticity.
|
|
The New York Times -
To its credit, the film doesn't sugarcoat its women too monstrously, and it lets real conflicts and opinions occasionally creep in.
|
|
Variety -
Everything about the film suggests that its makers consider it a deep, emotionally probing drama, but it's merely a soap opera with elevated production values and a sterling cast.
|
|
Los Angeles Times -
It may be unfair to ask a film like this not to be shamelessly manipulative, but wouldn't it be nice if audiences could be trusted to feel things more or less on their own without layers of unnecessary hokum entering the picture?
|
|
Chicago Tribune -
Too loud, bright and shallow for its subject: a movie that pushes too many obvious buttons to build naturally to the big, heartbreaking climax it obviously wants.
