Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The movie suggests that love and magic can overcome madness, and for at least the length of the film I was prepared to accept that. Much of the credit for that goes to Depp...
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
The cast is defeated by a cloying Barry Berman script that Jeremiah Chechik directs with the same flair for the obvious he brought to National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
– Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone,
12 May 2001
fresh:
Mr. Depp may look nothing like Buster Keaton, but there are times when he genuinely seems to become the Great Stone Face, bringing Keaton's mannerisms sweetly and magically to life.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
rotten:
It's acted out in the secondary emotional register of the glass menagerie: whimsical, delicate, idiosyncratic, barmy.
– Wally Hammond,
Time Out,
26 Jan 2006
fresh:
As the outsider who courts the mentally ill Mary Stuart Masterson, Johnny Depp renders a startling performance that elevates the romantic fable way above its writing and directing shortcomings; look for the young Julianne Moore in a small part.
