  1. The movie contains its moments, charms and felicities-even its sharp stings of pleasure and pain. [20 May 1994]
  2. The novel's exuberance, happy sensuality, goes AWOL in Van Sant's sadder, darker vision. [20 May 1994]
  3. Reviewed by: Staff (Not Credited)

    No one seems to be having any fun, including the normally masterful Van Sant, whose direction is unstructured, confusing, and lackadaisical.
  4. Loaded as it is with undeveloped notions about feminism and individuality, nothing about it is really memorable except the appealing musicality of the fine k.d. lang/Ben Mink score, which deserves better. [20 May 1994]
