Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
If the movie tells an old story, its unvarnished realism lends it poignancy and depth.
The outcome is of little surprise, but to Soldini's credit, the predictability is no hindrance to enjoying "Come Undone."
Come Undone ends with less than a proper gut-punch of cumulative effect, but this self-consciously modern movie contains classical pleasures.
