Leave your thoughts about Shadowlands.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA deeply personal and moving love story filled with many moments of beauty, joy and healing. |
| MovielineStephen FarberDebra Winger is engaging and Anthony Hopkins is bloody marvelous. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt understands that not everyone falls into love through the avenue of physical desire; that for some, the lust may be for another's mind, for inner beauty. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonShadowlands is illuminated from beginning to end by Hopkins. This may be the best thing he's ever done. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsScott RenshawIf Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger aren't careful, they're likely to knock themselves out of contention for Academy Award nominations by doing too much excellent work in one year. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovRichard Attenborough tackles yet another "true story" and this time comes away with something quite a bit more substantial than Robert Downey, Jr. in greasepaint. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyThis is the biggest tear-jerker you could ever see. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksAnthony Hopkins just gets better and better as a film actor. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsDragan AntulovOne of the most underrated tear-jerking melodramas of its time. |
| Independent (UK)Sheila JohnstonIt's not hard to see what drew Richard Attenborough to the story. It is a character-driven piece with two potent leading roles, and he is a former actor known for teasing outstanding performances from his cast. |
