Critic Reviews

  • Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

    Runs into some problems but is redeemed by a powerful finish.

  • Desson Thomson, Washington Post

    The most cinematic of the three films.

  • Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

    The most complex of the three, Life is also the most powerful and revelatory.

  • Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle

    Bruno's domination of the first installment contributes to its being the least appealing.

  • Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

    If Belvaux's accomplishment doesn't quite match his ambition, his movie eventually produces an involving collection of conflicting motivations.
