Movie Reviews

New York Post - 8/10 by Jonathan ForemanMost of the movie's rewards are in watching Morton.
Newsweek - 8/10 by Laura ShinA beautifully articulated and acutely perceptive work with impeccable, carefully shaded performances.
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumLet loose in a plot that's surprisingly modern about sex and relationships, Morton gives Eva's torn longings an immediacy that transcends a lot of damp, 1950s rusticated preciousness.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzThis film reminded me of a Thomas Hardy type of novel that was written by someone who didn't have the writer's obvious talents.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin ThomasA beautifully articulated and acutely perceptive work with impeccable, carefully shaded performances.
Salon.com - 7/10 by Charles TaylorAlong with Sheryl Lee, Morton is probably the best actress to have emerged in this decade.
L.A. Weekly - 7/10 by F. X. FeeneyA film whose story movingly outfoxes any number of shopworn expectations on its way to a singular, heart-rending outcome.
TV Guide Magazine - 6/10 by Maitland McDonagh(A) languorous, mud-spattered psychological tale.
Film.com - 5/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanTells its glumly bodice-ripping tale with somber sensitivity.
Christian Science Monitor - 5/10 by David SterrittSincere acting lends the film a measure of dramatic dignity.
