Sommersby is not quite the old-fashioned romantic classic it tries to be. But given its problems, what is surprising about this three-hanky film is how close it gets at times to providing the traditional satisfactions of the genre. Read full review

The performance are uniformly wonderful, making Sommersby solidly entertaining though never engrossing. Read full review
