Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Gives refreshing -- and bittersweet -- dimension to the age-old clash between generations.

rotten:
It's ravishing to look it, a truly gorgeous object. But it is not deep.
– Hal Hinson,

fresh:
One of the most touching and moving of the year's films.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

– Peter Travers,

fresh:
Both sweeping and intimate, a lovely evocation of changing cultures and enduring family ties.
