Joseph, who lacks a college degree, learns that he will lose his teaching job at the end of the year when the school district expands into his town.

His affair with Catherine and losing his teaching job forces Joseph to take a look at his previously dull life and to decide how he wants to live the rest of it.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Tries to incorporate almost film-noir elements into a heartland love story. The blending feels inorganic; and composer Bruce Broughton doesn't help matters by coating every moment with a repetitive, syrupy theme.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,
2 Aug 2006
fresh:
An earnestly well-meaning film whose adult characters have a refreshingly grown-up perspective on their choices in life.
– Stephen Holden,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
Everyone in the film -- even the teenager -- is more intelligent and articulate than is usually permitted in American movies, and having gotten themselves into an emotional tangle, they go to work getting themselves out again.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

rotten:
Think Dennis Hopper has played too many crazies? Well, you'll wish he'd stuck to blowing up buses after you see him in Carried Away.
– Hal Hinson,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Carried Away is erotic, but it's also thoughtful and intelligent, and, coupled with Hopper's extraordinary performance, that's reason enough to be carried away by this motion picture.
