Critic Reviews

David Bianculli

As wide-ranging, and yet as sharply focused, as Mikal Gilmore's book. Read full review

J. Hoberman

A small-screen aesthetic is evident in the abundant close-ups and tight framing, but Holland makes it work for her. Read full review

Julie Salamon

The director, Agnieszka Holland, and the screenwriter, Frank Pugliese, have created a scenario that unflinchingly captures the feverish and desperate intensity of Mikal's quest. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Koteas and Ribisi, as two very different brothers, give realistic performances, and play off the differences brilliantly. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Ribisi is painfully intense without being histrionic. Read full review

Nathan Rabin

Steven Oxman

The piece is ultimately admirable for its lack of easy answers, for its continued sense of emotional confusion. Read full review
