Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Mr. Stone tells this tale vigorously, but he has the wrong cinematic vocabulary for his heroine's essentially passive experience.

rotten:
Heaven has so many themes, ranging from Buddhist spirituality to feminism, it ends up with none.
– Desson Thomson,

fresh:
This is the first time [Stone] has tried to place himself inside a woman's imagination, and that he succeeds so well is due partly...to an extraordinary performance by Hiep Thi Le in the leading role.
– Roger Ebert,

fresh:
Heaven and Earth has the epic scope one would expect from a film of this magnitude, but it lacks much of the narrative strength of Stone's first two Vietnamese tales.
