100Disarms with its sincerity and frankness.
-
91This patient, perceptive, nonjudgmental love story about age difference is the first to convincingly explain the temporal physics of May-December romances.
-
90Offers something magical in the haunting and hypnotic performance of Sarah Polley...(the film) cuts deep.
-
90Wonderfully acted and slickly mad. Acutely written with an eye to the motivations and ambiguities involved on both sides in such a relationship.
-
88The movie's heart is in the right place.
-
80As talented as Polley proved herself in "The Sweet Hereafter" and "Go," this is her best work yet.
-
80Affectionately told ...beguiling.
-
80Affecting, gloriously acted.
-
75Should make Polley, memorable in "The Sweet Hereafter" and "Go," into a bona-fide star.
-
75At the heart of the film, Polley - with her wary, unsure stares, her open smile and beguiling intelligence - is terrific.
-
75An enigmatic but gorgeous film.
-
75Polley's doe-eyed innocence is in overdrive.
-
70Rea hits just the right balance of sympathy and self-interest.
-
63A shy and depressed college graduate falls in love with a Bohemian artist, as in Woody Allen's "Manhattan."
-
63Polley, the paraplegic incest victim in Atom Egoyan's "The Sweet Hereafter," gives a mesmerizing central performance.
-
63The cumbersome wrap-up, which follows a four-year narrative gap, seems too fanciful and bogs down what has been a stronger second hour.
-
63While the appeal of Guinevere is decidedly intermittent, it's there, and the acting is right on the money.
-
60Deftly mixes rueful sentimentality and trenchant observations about the constantly shifting balance of power that drives relationships.
-
60A good, though unremarkable, film.
-
60We have a right to yawn, but we don't, and Sarah Polley is the reason.
-
50Implausibly dainty.
-
50Bogs down during several fuzzily romantic interludes.
-
50It doesn't take Rea long to decide that he's more interested in extending his record for Longest Acting Career Sustained on One Expression, and he's back to his baggy-eyed, hangdog look.
-
50Except for Polley and Rea, the performances are heavy-handed.
-
40Partly because the seducer's technique is methodical--as a former conquest explains to the naive heroine--the movie's answers are too easy.
