Critic Reviews

Variety Staff, Variety
Heaven Can Wait is an outstanding film.
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
It's certainly likable enough and was a big hit when it came out, but one could hardly call it an auspicious artistic debut -- a crafty commercial entertainment with a certain amount of intelligence is more like it.
-
Vincent Canby, New York Times
There's nothing worse than a pushy narrative.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
This is the kind of upbeat screwball comedy Hollywood used to do smoothly and well.
-
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Supremely produced, this whimsical romantic comedy served as star vehicle for Julie Christie and especially Warren Beatty, who made an impressive co-directing debut with Buck Henry; the film deservedly won the Oscar for Art Direction.
