    A lot of gaps interspersed with other scenes that drag. The story was OK but did not have the comprehensive feel that the importance of character's efforts implied. But a good movie for what Emily Watson did with her role. She steals the show.

    Average filmmaking, but Emily Watson is superb, flawless. She is the heart of this film. Good score and good cinematography as well.

    As drama, Hilary and Jackie is merely sketchy and superficial. As a portrait of the artist, it's puritanical crap.

    Hilary and Jackie plumbs the cistern of family dysfunction and musical genius to profound and haunting effect.

    Emily Watson is ravishingly good -- and brings an amazing focus and intensity to what could have been a disease-of-the-week picture.
