Critic Reviews

  • Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com

    Jones and Lange at their best.

  • Nick Davis, Nick's Flick Picks

    Persuasively alive... The movie is sufficiently at odds with itself to be both frustrating and intriguing.

  • Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com

    There are two reasons to see this preposterously plotted military-marital melodrama: Jessica Lange's Oscar-winning performance and the fact that it became Brit Tony Richrdson's very last work.

  • James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette

    Lange and Jones are an electrifying couple

  • Chris Hicks, Deseret News, Salt Lake City

    Even without that lumpy subplot, Blue Sky is wildly uneven and is virtually held together most of the way by the performances of its stars.

    A loosely structured story that is held together by the gravity of Jessica Lange's inspiring performance. A jumble of adultery, deceit and mental illness made worse by it's obtrusive anti-nuclear agenda.

  • Steve K


    Jones is just as good as Lange. Worthwhile for their performances alone.

  • John B


    A sleeper that most people did not catch in 1994. This is the best character that I have seen Jessica Lange do including her earlier depiction of Frances Farmer.
