| Baret NewsKam WilliamsA searing, supernatural exploration of the human soul suggesting not only that love is real but that miracles happen, too! |
| Detroit NewsTom LongYou have to stretch your imagination just a teensy bit - OK, a whale of a lot - to buy into it. |
| HitFixDrew McWeeny'Winter's Tale' is the 'Batman and Robin' of magical realism. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA dud of epic proportions, a fantasy that's less magical than risible. |
