Leave your thoughts about Affliction.
| Austin ChronicleRussell SmithIn this magnificent, profoundly tragic film, Nolte and Coburn each turn in career-best performances as a father and son who embody the ancient, seemingly ineradicable male pathology of violence, retribution, and the slow death of the soul. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanSuch an angry and bitter motion picture that you can almost physically feel the emotional coldness that is brewing under the surface. |
| NutzWorldBlake Frenchtakes itself seriously and has no pity, regrets, or agreements |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertNolte and Coburn are magnificent in this film, which is like an expiation or amends for abusive men. It is revealing to watch them in their scenes together--to see how they're able to use physical presence to sketch the history of a relationship. |
| San Francisco ExaminerWalter AddiegoThis is a nearly miraculous conjunction of director, material and actor. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinSucceeds in finding something larger than one man's misery. It turns dark truthfulness into the cinematic sentiment most worth celebrating this season. |
| Portland OregonianDiana Abu-JaberAffliction -- a beautiful bummer, a magnificent feel-bad movie -- is American filmmaking of a most rewarding order. |
| Baltimore SunAnn HornadaySchrader and Nolte are both at the height of their expressive powers in a film that, in its concentration and sobriety, leaves a lasting impression. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendricka powerful, bleak family drama about a son's tragic inability to not become his father |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonA terrifying movie that faces the truth of cruelty and its everlasting results. |
