Leave your thoughts about Barefoot.
| Detroit NewsTom LongIt's all thoroughly, intentionally lightweight, and the film's final 10 minutes is a rush of highly unlikely smiley face resolutions. Still, Wood somehow makes it work as well as it can. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfThere was once a time when director Andrew Fleming made fantastic films. |
| Under the RadarAustin TrunickBarefoot follows an expected Pretty Woman-esque path, but it's quite charming along the way, and the oddball premise helps it feel fresh. |
| Orange County RegisterMichael SragowA sorry throwback to sentimental 1960s movies -- the ones in which an offbeat woman repairs the soul of an emotionally clueless man. |
| RogerEbert.comSusan WloszczynaThere is one thing about Barefoot that makes it at least a guilty pleasure. Once you ignore how improbable Daisy is — there is something oddly captivating about Wood's performance. |
| McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreBarefoot is “Rainman” meets “Benny & Joon.” |
| Paste MagazineChristine N. ZiembaIt's an amalgam of tried-and-true themes minus any originality. |
| Common Sense MediaAndrea BeachRomantic dramedy is touching but shallow; mature themes. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyReally, the emotionally ill have enough stigmas to contend with. They don't need the patronizing-yet-popular movie one of "They're just like us - only, you know, more innocent." |
| The DissolveMike D'AngeloIt’s never fully clear whether Daisy is a severely damaged woman with the mental development and social skills of a 10-year-old, or just a wide-eyed, unconventional waif in need of some tender loving care. Barefoot vacillates between the two almost at random, depending upon the needs of its hackneyed screenplay at any given moment. |
