Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
First-time feature director Matthew Warchus can't keep the plot from bewildering and even distancing the viewer.
– Jane Sumner,
Dallas Morning News,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
Stone doesn't show up until the film is half over and seems to be trying rather hard to make up for the lost time.
– Jeff Millar,
Houston Chronicle,

fresh:
Warchus seems as at ease with the complexity of the style as he is with directing actors.
– Charles Taylor,

rotten:
Simpatico pulls up lame way before the stretch.
– Jonathan Foreman,
