Leave your thoughts about Far and Away.
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksThe story is ridiculously old-fashioned, with romantic flourishes and visual spectacle (the land-rush scenes are outstanding) in place of an interesting storyline and well-developed characters. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyPoorly written and simplistically acted, the film also shows little chemistry between real-life couple Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfAway isn't for cynics, providing an authentic rush of experience that makes the effort feel huge, even when it details the smallest interests of the heart. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelSomehow it works, in part because of the way director Howard keeps his crowded frames abustle with activity, in part because of the sheer indomitability with which his leading characters are endowed by the actors and by writer Dolman, but mostly because the movie takes enlivening chances with its material. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanFar and Away looks like an epic, but it lacks flavor and texture. It's so predigested there's nothing left to chew on. |
| Wall Street JournalJulie SalamonEven at its hokiest, Far and Away is never less than heartfelt. |
| VarietyTodd McCarthyHandsomely mounted and amiably performed but leisurely and without much dramatic urgency. |
| Common Sense MediaHeather BoernerIntense, treacly Cruise-Kidman immigrant epic. |
| MovieholeClint MorrisAn enjoyable, highly-romantic, somewhat witty film |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergYou don't really "buy" any of it in a believable way, but I say it still works as period-piece spectacle. |
