| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThis is yet another melodrama haunted by the Kennedy assassination, and it's worth seeing only for Michelle Pfeiffer's performance as the obsessed Dallas housewife. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanBeneath its heavy-breathing fripperies, though, Basic Instinct is mechanical and routine, a muddle of Hitchcockian red herrings and standard cop-thriller ballistics. |
| User ReviewArielle PQuite an interesting film; You have Michelle Pheiffer who a down home Texas gal who has a fixation on Jacqueline Kennedy; She went to the airport to see them come to Dallas on that fateful day when President Kennedy was killed; Although she didn't know either, she decides to go up to Washington DC and show her love to Jackie at this horrible time; But things usually don't work out that way. A black man and his daughter are boarding the bus to get away from some harsh situations, and Pfeiffer falls for the little girl; When she sees some things with the little girl after the bus is in an accident, they end up on the run from the law. Now here is where things become a whole lot complicated. |
| User ReviewJanet MGlad to see the comments below - this deserves so much more acknowledgement. Wonderful performances from Michelle Pfeiffer (as always) and Dennis Haysbert, evoking a time and place and a sense of heart that's just simple and elegant and real. |

| User Reviewcable gVery good movie I love her in anything :-) |
| User ReviewJames HWell, I sure did like this better than most people and critics. I thought the performances were terrific, especially Michelle Pfeiffer. The story is always engrossing, the period detail was exceptional. Moving and well produced. |
| User ReviewRed LSet against the backdrop of President John F. Kennedy's assassination, this is an engaging drama that touches upon patriotism, civil rights issues, identity, and the relationship between a public figure (or celebrity) and the community. At this end, 'Love Field' perhaps attempts to tackle too many issues and cinematic themes to deliver its intended punch; its approach is too broad-minded, but there's a number of effective moments here, presented through the eyes of our naïve protagonist Lurene, Michelle Pfeiffer in an Oscar-nominated performance, whose "connection" with First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy is an underlying driving force behind her motivations. Upon Lurene meeting the reserved Paul Carter (a fine Dennis Haysberth in an underwritten role) and his painfully shy daughter (the adorable Stephanie McFadden only screen credit), the film turns into both a chase and road movie, where Lurene and Paul's relationship takes on a more intimate course; their mutual attraction doesn't quite convince, but there's a sense of a deeper, enduring personal friendship that will prevail after the credits have rolled. Jerry Goldsmith's beautiful score and solid supporting performances from Peggy Rea and Brian Kerwin add depth to what is an altogether moving story. |
| User ReviewDeborah HGreat story about "race" and how to over come the challanges of ignorance. Loved it! |
