Critic Reviews

J.R. Jones

Its intelligent characterizations make it one of the best movies I've seen this year. Read full review

Premiere Kelly Borgeson

Surely it’s a credit to this luminous cast that the characters can behave in such despicable ways yet still command one’s sympathy. Read full review

Kenneth Turan

Perhaps The Heart of Me's greatest success is the way it avoids turning any of its characters into villains. They all act badly at times, but we feel for them just the same; they never lose our sympathy. Weepy or not, that's an accomplishment any kind of film can feel proud of. Read full review

Dallas Observer Gregory Weinkauf

If you want to drift through emotional turmoil and a harrowing loss of security both personal and national, this project may provide some soggy satisfaction. Read full review

Jessica Winter

Madeleine's such a cold bitch that the adulterous lovers' anguished scruples scan like inert masochism. Read full review

Kim Morgan

By a certain point The Heart of Me becomes pointlessly depressing and unlikable without offering insight. Read full review

Ann Hornaday

Terribly tragic, terribly romantic and, ultimately, terribly, terribly dull. Read full review

Pretentious with ultimately unsympathetic characters.
