Critic Reviews
-
Cary Darling, Dallas Morning News
It just seems like a bunch of actors playing dress-up.
-
Kyle Smith, New York Post
Everybody flirts with everyone else as director John Irvin pours on a level of shopping-mall-gift-shop-kitsch that would shame Wayne Newton.
-
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Better than it might have been yet still a definite letdown, a literary B-side turned into something not awful, just forgettable.
-
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Ms. Suvari's Catherine is so extravagantly monstrous that Mr. Huston's David, who provides a desultory narration, comes across as an inert nonentity.
-
Ronnie Scheib, Variety
Vet British helmer John Irvin's mannered, bloodless and appallingly thesped filmization of Hemingway's posthumous novel, though unlikely to set the author rolling in his grave, may still have viewers rolling in the aisles.
