Critic Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert

Falls so far outside our ordinary story expectations it may frustrate some viewers. Read full review

Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington

Beautifully produced: a moving film with a fascinating story and exemplary acting. Read full review

Newsweek - Andrea C. Basora

Thomas is supported in his first directorial endeavor by a truly spectacular cast. Read full review

Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt

Fantasy-style plot doesn't mesh easily with the unsettling psychological themes woven through it. Read full review

New York Daily News - Jami Bernard

Hurt is slumming in an unchallenging role. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine - Maitland McDonagh

This moody film is ravishingly beautiful to look at -- but the story's fairy tale atmosphere doesn't entirely mesh with its psychological underpinnings. Read full review

Mr. Showbiz - Michael Atkinson

Hamilton's quasi-Luddite tale doesn't make a coherent movie under the best of circumstances, and these were, apparently, something substantially less than that.

This movie may not be believable, but it is more like a fairy tale in the horrible original sense. In addition to an interesting story, the acting is excellent as is the cinematograpy and music.
