Leave your thoughts about Unstrung Heroes.
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannRich with physical and psychological texture, and boosted by Thomas Newman's muted score, Unstrung Heroes is that rare mainstream film that doesn't shout in our ear to make its points. It draws us in, subtly and gracefully, and casts a lingering charm. |
| Portland OregonianShawn LevyThanks to everyone involved, the movie radiates a hundred pleasures. |
| Countingdown.comLarry CarrollA very touching film that features great performances all around. This is the type of movie you'll watch and wonder why you've never heard more about it. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrUnstrung Heroes has been directed by Diane Keaton with an unusual combination of sentiment and quirky eccentricity. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversKeaton has crafted something rare: a screwball comedy that cuts to the heart. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinA warm, surprising, gently incandescent film that discreetly describes a family tragedy. |
| TimeRichard CorlissDiane Keaton, directing her first fictional feature, gets us safely through a movie that could have turned to mush at any moment. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyDiane Keaton's kooky sensibilities as a director are ideally suited to the sweet madness of Unstrung Heroes. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThere's nothing especially original about Unstrung Heroes, but the story is told with intelligence and sensitivity. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenEccentricities, though they are essential to the story, nevertheless come across as too pat and planned in Unstrung Heroes. Despite my inability to dismiss the film's uncomfortable flaws, these were not so distracting that I had anything other than an enjoyable experience while watching the movie and was awash in a small puddle of tears at the end. |
