Critic Reviews

  • Clint Morris, Moviehole

    A bravura performance by Ron Silver

  • Betsy Bozdech, Reel.com

    With its focus on complex dialogue and rich, complicated characters, Enemies, a Love Story ... is every inch an actor's movie.

  • Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com

    Arguably Mazursky's last successful film, this adaptation of Isaac Bashevis Singer of a Holocaust survivor and the women in his life blends humor and pathos and is extremely well acted by Ron Silver, Anjelica Huston and Lena Olin.
