Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Notwithstanding a knockabout performance by Jane Alexander as a Fort Worth floozy, Square Dance is do-si-dull.

rotten:
There are so many small, well-crafted touches about the movie it`s painful to report that the whole is not quite the sum of its parts.

fresh:
story can move you even if it's predictable, and that's what Square Dance accomplishes. It makes contact with its people, its land; it makes us feel for them; it hews out a slice of the earth, our earth, and makes it real.

rotten:
It's so cotton-pickin' cliched.

Nothing that happens comes as much of a surprise.
