Leave your thoughts about The Amati Girls.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA film about four Italian American sisters struggling with love, faith, and death that embraces the feeling function of the human repertoire of emotions. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldPlays like a series of well-done but disconnected acting-class sketches, filled with a huge cast of first-rate actors whose careers have all gone into decline. |
| Common Sense MediaCharles CassadyThis movie's unhurried pace might bore kids. |
| Philadelphia InquirerDesmond RyanAn earnest ensemble weeper I'd at least feel comfortable seeing with my grandmother. |
| Mr. ShowbizKevin MaynardThe movie is as schmaltzy as I'd feared, and yet De Salvo does elicit some nice performances from her ensemble cast. |
| Dallas ObserverGregory WeinkaufAlthough DeSalvo performs the miracle of making these characters seem like people we actually know, occasionally her delivery definitely makes us wish we didn't. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghSmacks of a certain kind of TV movie filled with pious uplift, even as it makes token concessions to contemporary lifestyles. |
| Chicago TribuneJohn PetrakisOnly a memorably commanding Ruehl transcends the limitations of her two-dimensional character. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleWe all know how actors overact when they play Italians, and we all know how actors overact when they play brain-damaged characters, so just imagine Knight's performance as a brain-damaged Italian American. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasHas plenty of warmth, affection and conventional wisdom, but too much of the time it plays out in routine fashion with moments of contrivance. |
