Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Hicks ... coats the film in a bogus idyllic mist that substitutes cheap sentiment for blunt truth.
– Peter Travers,

fresh:
The unblinking sympathy for kids struggling with evil and with the strange frequencies of prepubescent passion can, if your defenses are down, lay you out.

fresh:
Hicks's film is magical, but its magic comes not from the inexplicable phenomena we most commonly associate with King, but from the charms of childhood.

A precious respite from the postmodern era and all that it entails.

Much of Hearts feels a little empty, a little unmotivated.
