Leave your thoughts about Beyond Rangoon.
| New YorkerMichael SragowArquette gives the kind of mighty physical performance usually delivered by men in existential action classics like "The Wages of Fear," but she suffuses it with something all her own-she's bulletproof yet vulnerable. |
| Sacramento BeeJoe BaltakeIt's fascinating and rewarding to watch [Arquette] evolve, with much credibility, from her own personal state of immaturity to a state of full growth. |
| Independent on SundayQuentin CurtisJohn Boorman's Beyond Rangoon is a humane and technically accomplished drama set in the viciously repressive world of contemporary Burma. |
| F5 (Wichita, KS)Jake EukerA strange misfire with conflicted intent. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliBesides being an intelligent and gripping thriller with a solid grounding in real, recent historical events, Beyond Rangoon also gives movie-goers a rare opportunity to watch a female hero. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBecause the film is well acted and directed, and the Malaysian locations are exotic and seductive, I got involved even though the story ... was so clearly concocted. |
| CinematterMadeleine WilliamsArquette's central character makes several rather stupid decisions along the way, but the drama of the political events unfolding around her compensates for it. |
| DVDLaserDouglas PrattAn exotic adventure story with a political conscience |
| San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserIt's as if a civil war had been concocted just to take Laura (Patricia Arquette) outside of her not-unjustified misery. |
| Globe and MailRick GroenAs an exercise in art, or even polemics, Beyond Rangoon is beyond redemption, but still works its occasional magic with extraordinary flair. |
