Adds up to considerably less than the sum of its parts.

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten

Too bad that unconscious haunting quality is in no way conveyed by the story, which soon reveals itself not as magical but silly -- and even irritating.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten

I was never much convinced by the romantic chemistry between Rob and Lucinda.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten

Seems to be grasping for lyricism and whimsy and just missing.

Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

Sometimes it's pretty openly treading water while inspiration flags. But there's more to like than dislike in The Price of Milk.

Jay Carr, Boston Globe
