Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Watching "Ironweed" is like having a large, metal object lodged in your brain for 2 1/2 hours. It hurts.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Tribune,
19 Dec 2011
rotten:
The film becomes becalmed and confusing; it lacks the novel's great unwavering trajectory.
– Sheila Benson,
Los Angeles Times,
19 Dec 2011
rotten:
Unrelentingly bleak, Ironweed is a film without an audience and no reason for being except its own self-importance.

fresh:
At last, a real part for Nicholson to sink his teeth into.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,

rotten:
Despite its nearly two-and-a-half-hour running time, its superstar cast and its $23 million budget, Mr. Babenco's ''Ironweed'' is skeletal, a mere outline of Mr. Kennedy's far more resonant book.
