rotten:
Fairly choked with good intentions, whimsy, touches of fantasy, and cardboard liberal stereotypes.

Redford's film sustains a slow mood of simpatico amiability and photographs the landscape with moony or golden washes that are perhaps hard to dislike, but is slain by its adherence to an outdated populist mythology.
