Movie Reviews

Moviehole - 9/10 by Clint MorrisA powerful piece of filmmaking. Gere and Foster are as immaculate as always.
Hartford Courant - 9/10 by Malcolm JohnsonSommersby has everything to succeed. There's just one minor problem in this Americanized remake of The Return of Martin Guerre: Who can believe Richard Gere and Jodie Foster as a Tennessee Ashley and Scarlett?
Independent (UK) - 9/10 by Adam Mars-JonesHis (Amiel's) direction is full-blooded and unafraid of sentiment, but he reins in the film's epic possibilities, which could easily have bogged things down.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzLacks whatever magical ingredient there is that makes a film a moving experience and instead settles for being an adequate but not a remarkable achievement.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 8/10 by Chris HicksThe cast is uniformly good, including Gere in the title role. But it's Foster who really glows here, giving her character a sense of depth and innocence that makes the entire unlikely premise more palatable.
Spirituality and Practice - 6/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA winning and soul-stirring exploration of the spiritual meaning of one man's sacrificial death.
Chicago Sun-Times - 5/10 by Roger EbertA square peg pounded into a round hole -- or, more exactly, a medieval European story that has been unsuccessfully updated to the period of the American Civil War.
Laramie Movie Scope - 5/10 by Robert RotenThe story idea is an interesting one, but it doesn't quite pan out in the end. There are too many unanswered questions and unresolved conflicts.
Washington Post - 4/10 by Desson ThomsonIf you're looking for a picturesque romance -- with a little intrigue on the side -- you could do worse than Sommersby.
User Review - 10/10 by Raechel BA fantastic story that keeps you at the same level of understanding as the characters.. Is this Jack Sommersby? or an intruder?. It's really well written & man, I really enjoyed it.. Richard and Jodie do a excellent job playing out their parts. It even brought out a tear in me by the end of it. :D I didn't expect it to be so good.
