Leave your thoughts about Mighty Fine.
| Shared DarknessBrent SimonA somewhat drab and unimaginative telling further dents this dull melodrama of already rather limited psychological insights, and pat conclusions and catharses. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA semi-autobiographical story of a man's over-reaching, which leads him to consider violent options in dealing with himself and his family. |
| New York PostKyle SmithIf you can overlook Andie MacDowell's Mitteleuropa accent as a Jewish Holocaust survivor (I know: big if), the cinematic roman a clef Mighty Fine has some quiet charms. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweHas heart to spare, but little new to say. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinIt all makes for a family therapist's dream scenario, but an otherwise choppy and predictable memory piece. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenMighty Fine chugs along heartily until it abruptly stops on the edge of cliff, leaving you feeling shortchanged. It is a couple of crucial scenes away from feeling complete. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonA well-meaning but unstable hand at the tiller, and a propensity for charting plot points, rather than a clear narrative destination. |
| Boston GlobeMark FeeneyChazz Palminteri's the best thing in the movie. He now has the look of a slightly beefier Steve Buscemi. But where Buscemi is all nerves on edge and something bad waiting to happen, Palminteri has a winning ease. |
| Time OutKeith UhlichDespite a committed performance from Palminteri (ripping through scenes like an aged bulldog), Debbie Goodstein's loosely autobiographical drama is as nondescript as made-for-pennies independents come. |
| Village VoiceNick SchagerThe mood is generally melodramatic and ends as mushy, aided by the soft-focus cinematography that drenches it all in melancholic nostalgia. |
