Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
If the plot is thin, at least the characters are interesting, and the performances are consistently strong.

fresh:
Amy Fox's play, with New York cliches for characters, was never going to hit, ahem, the movie heights. But cut loose in the middle of a comic-book summer, Heights is just different enough, just adult enough, to warrant a climb and a look.

rotten:
None of it rings true, nor do precious affectations such as having one couple communicate with each other via walkie-talkies.

rotten:
Terrio may use such accelerating devices as a handheld camera and split-screen editing, but his movie still feels as inert as the piano chords in Martin Erskine and Ben Butler's score.

fresh:
Sufficiently enjoyable and intelligent to erase unpleasant memories of Merchant-Ivory's last foray into Manhattan ... it lacks the energy and vibrancy of the best films to come out of the city in the past few years.
