Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The film represents a studied, sophisticated approach to instinctual emotions: it's carefully, calculatingly naive, and amazingly it works.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
The director, Carroll Ballard, and the cinematographer, Caleb Deschanel, have captured so many lavishly beautiful images that the cumulative effect is one of repetition.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
9 May 2005
fresh:
Deepens into a far more powerful entertainment through matchless cinematography and talented supporting players.
– Michael Booth,
Denver Post,
11 May 2007
fresh:
Carroll Ballard's feature debut is rich in adventure, suspense and mythical elements and marks the prize-winning short-subjects director as a major talent.

rotten:
Ballard's sumptuous images exist only to distract from his rather conventional failings of craftsmanship.
