Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Perhaps no one could have saved Phoenix, who was not lucky enough to find a higher bottom than death. But this performance in this movie should have been seen by someone as a cry for help.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
It bears as little relation to the real Nashville as Altman's 1975 feature, but director Peter Bogdanovich, the talented cast, and the credited and uncredited screenwriters are so busy conjuring up a charming world of their own that I didn't mind.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,
23 Jun 2002
rotten:
Although well acted, with early scenes that deftly sketch the atmosphere, the movie, written by Carol Heikkinen, never takes off.
– Stephen Holden,
New York Times,
30 Aug 2004
fresh:
Bogdanovich's modest staging is occasionally awkward -- his kids still watch John Wayne movies at the drive-in -- but there's a convincing sense of what Nashville's like and how country music works.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,
9 Feb 2006
fresh:
Perhaps there's not much new to say about the dues and disappointments involved in breaking into the country music scene, but the scenes are fresh and the emotions real in Peter Bogdanovich's tune-laden, mixed-mood drama.
