Gordon's way with actors and with screen storytelling is as impeccable as ever.
By Kevin Thomas FULL REVIEW

The story quietly builds to a rueful and fraught climax in which Campbell Scott does his usual exceptional work
By Kyle Smith FULL REVIEW

It’s rare to see a film directed by a woman who knows more about men than they themselves do. With Handsome Harry, the widely respected independent filmmaker Bette Gordon has hit a bull’s eye.
By Rex Reed FULL REVIEW

Though there's too much movie-style self-deception, Sheridan is excellent, and his scenes with the consistently engaging, criminally underemployed Campbell Scott are subtle and serene.
By Joe Neumaier FULL REVIEW
50
A slight story with little action, this rueful dissection of male bonding builds to an undeniably emotional last act.
By Luke Sader FULL REVIEW

Beginning promisingly enough, "Handsome" soon turns monotonously angst-ridden, with all humor and personality falling by the wayside.

Harry’s haunted by his own identity crisis, but that breakdown translates into nothing but smeary, slo-mo flashbacks. Forget about insight into the macho mind-set.
