Bridges is fine, especially in the ethereal early moments, and manages throughout to convey an altered state of mind that rivets the viewer.

As often with Weir, there's considerably less here than meets the eye.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out

Mr. Bridges does well with a difficult role.
Vincent Canby, New York Times

Bridges turns in another in what has become an astoundingly long list of brilliant performances. Using the simplest means imaginable, he steps into a role as nonchalantly as he might slip into his trousers.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post

There are times when "Fearless" really soars, thanks to bouts of good writing by Rafael Yglesias and direction by Peter Weir and a stellar performance by Bridges.
