Christian Science Monitor

There's much subtle beauty in the last movie completed by Merchant Ivory Productions before Merchant's untimely death.

By David Sterritt FULL REVIEW

Chicago Sun-Times

The film is one of those interlocking dramas where all of the characters are involved in each other's lives, if only they knew it. We know, and one of our pleasures is waiting for the pennies to drop.

By Roger Ebert FULL REVIEW

Film Threat

Director Chris Terrio confidently delivers a solid first feature, but sometimes doesn’t always engage in the characters’ inner demons, which could have made an even better film given the cast and material.

FULL REVIEW

Chicago Reader

This is brisk and fun to watch, thanks to the actors...But once you catch the main drift of the plot, it becomes awfully ho-hum.

By Jonathan Rosenbaum FULL REVIEW

Village Voice

In this study of keeping up appearances while everything falls apart, the stakes never seem as high as the title suggests.

By Laura Sinagra FULL REVIEW

Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Themes at the heart of Heights of despair among the beautiful people are a bore.

FULL REVIEW

Washington Post

If there's anything good to be said about Heights, it's Glenn Close's strutty, booming performance.
