MCT:June 9, 2008An astonighing Oscar-winning performance from Jessica Lange keeps this movie afloat. It's one of those very rare performances you never will forget. Great, very believable acting...

Very moving...
A lot of "Blue Sky" involves the domestic turmoil of the Marshalls, who have lived on a lot of Army bases and seen Carly make a display of herself on all of them. Hank tends to objectify the situation. "What we call love," he tells his daughters, "is really the exchange of energy over time. It's simple quantum mechanics." Very nice, but is that a consolation when she has a few drinks and starts doing her sexpot act? "I made a decision a long time ago, just to love her basic qualities," he tells his girls. But the older girl tells her sister: "He's blind and she's crazy. They're perfect for each other." The strange thing is, that's exactly right. And we see the value of her craziness in the movie's third act, which I will not describe here. Jessica Lange's character has seemed basically just very disturbed until these closing scenes, when we sense an instinctive intelligence and a fierce idea of justice which must be what her husband sensed in her all along... -

It was stunning to see how beautifully Tommy Lee Jones and Jessica Lang's chemistry in this picture. I could not take my eyes of of them. They should have both gotten more recognition for their work in this story.

MCT:July 28, 2007I really loved this movie, it takes you into the insights of a manic person and Jessica Lange just does a great performance in this film, worth seeing over again!

I thought this might have been Jessica Lange's best role. It certainly was her best overall movie. Tommy Lee Jones was at his best as well.

MCT:February 5, 2007Excellent portrayal of an army wife whose behavior embarrases her ambitious husband. Lange is excellent here in her Oscar-winning performance simply burns up the screen. Lee Jones is very good too. Richardson's last film, which languished for years in a vault before release.
