Mick LaSalle

One of the most powerful romances of recent years, it is as generous as they come. Read full review

David Sterritt

Offbeat tale, which tackles weighty themes. But sentimentality overtakes intelligence. Read full review

Rene Rodriguez

It's almost startling to see a film that believes in itself and its characters so deeply. Read full review

Wesley Morris

As involved as Crudup and Connelly beseech you to be with this story, their very youthfulness, their nagging lack of adulthood, keeps the film from being anything more credible than a tight grad-school tryst. Read full review

Film.com Peter Brunette

Marc Caro

By the time of Fielding's and Sarah's final, gooey encounter, she's not the only one who needs waking. Read full review
