Leave your thoughts about Fly Away Home.
| NewsweekDavid AnsenNo better children's film has appeared all year, but my bet is it'll be the grown-ups, not the kids, who come away with a lump in the throat. |
| Common Sense MediaNell MinowThrilling, touching adventure for animal lovers. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldWhile Winged Migration asks the audience to empathize with birds, Fly Away Home asks us to take a closer look at the people who love them, and to understand what gives their lives meaning. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchDeborah PetersonWhat I will remember is the photography, and the bliss (just this side of madness) with which the Jeff Daniels character invents his foolhardy schemes. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonIt's a movie about dreamers that, for once, doesn't make you feel like a sap for buying into their dreams. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumBallard, working from a screenplay by Robert Rodat and Vince McKewin, lets the melancholy hang in the air with a few too many poetic shots of the lonely girl. But as Thomas teaches Amy how to spread her wings, any lacy sentimentality (as well as the jarring tree-hugger subplot about meanie land developers) falls away, revealing the soaring beauty of the flying sequences. |
| VarietyTodd McCarthyAn animal, kid and family picture of the first order, "Fly Away Home" marks an impressive return to form for Carroll Ballard, his best work since "The Black Stallion" 17 years ago. |
| Juicy CerebellumAlex SandellSomehow makes the story of orphaned geese entertaining. |
| Cincinnati EnquirerMargaret A. McGurkIts aerial scenes are wondrous, beautiful as symphonies, and worth the price of admission alone. Count as a bonus the skilled, heartfelt performance from the teen-aged star and from Mr. Daniels as her resourceful dad. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinRekindling the delicacy and invigorating naturalness he brought to "The Black Stallion," and again helped immensely by the radiant cinematography of Caleb Deschanel, Ballard turns a potentially treacly children's film into an exhilarating '90s fable. |
