Critic Reviews
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Streisand produced, developed the script, and composed most of the music for this showpiece, and her efforts, as usual, pay off, above all in her angry and lively performance.
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
The film is almost entirely adrift.
-
Rita Kempley, Washington Post
It wants to be a movie with a message, but in the end it's just a melodrama.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Nuts is essentially just a futile exercise in courtroom cliches, surrounding a good performance that doesn't fit.
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
It's Hollywood manipulation at its best.
