Critic Reviews

  • Elvis Mitchell, New York Times

    Staring thoughtfully into the middle distance, Ms. Sobieski looks as if she is already contemplating better scripts.

  • Kevin Maynard, Mr. Showbiz

    Here on Earth hungers for the nostalgia of an Elia Kazan-style farmbelt romantic tragedy à la East of Eden, but the end result is more akin to a soggy Troy Donahue-Sandra Dee weeper.

  • Jay Carr, Boston Globe

    Three appealing performers are lumbered with material that doesn't measure up to them in Here on Earth.

  • Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press

    For a movie about the ferocity of first love, it seems curiously pallid and passionless.

  • Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

    The film is sturdy enough to allow Klein and Sobieski to shine.

    Was a huge favorite of mine in high school and then slowly went down the list as I grew up and grasped a greater appreciation for film making. It has a great soundtrack, an amazing cast of characters, and is filled with both weepy scenes and laugh-out-loud scenes. One thing I never… More
