Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The film looks austere and serious, rather as if it had been shot inside a Frigidaire, and the oppressiveness of the images tends to strangle laughter, even at the most absurd excesses of Alvin Sargent's script.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,
13 Dec 2006
fresh:
A powerfully intimate domestic drama.
– Todd McCarthy,
Variety,
20 Feb 2008
fresh:
An austere and delicate examination of the ways in which a likable family falters under pressure and struggles, with ambiguous results, to renew itself.
– Richard Schickel,
TIME Magazine,
20 Feb 2009
fresh:
What Redford accomplishes is to provide an excellent portrait of how well families can hide their inner turmoil from the prying eyes of outsiders.
– James Berardinelli,

fresh:
With the skill of a practiced surgeon, Redford gradually peels away the protective layers of his characters, exposing their flaws, their darkest fears and ultimately, their innermost feelings.
