  1. The filmmakers' special triumph lies in the inspired way that in the nick of time it draws its story to a close, with Nora and Joyce struggling toward a new level of understanding.
  2. 80
    This nicely acted study of a love that survived all manner of trauma is a must-see for Joyce fans, feminist historians great and small and admirers of the Emerald Isle.
  3. 60
    Like "Pollock," Nora is a convincing portrait of the intersection between creative genius and crazy, all-consuming love.
