Critic Reviews

  • Jeremy Heilman, MovieMartyr.com

    Had it ended two minutes earlier, it would have been a considerably more successful film. Like many Hollywood dramas of the 1940s, it stumbles during its dismount.

  • Fernando F. Croce, CinePassion

    Couched in snapshots of provincial America as fond and sardonic as any in Shadow of a Doubt

  • Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews

    Darkly poignant while remaining on message.

    This was a great movie until it got to a very bad cliched ending. If they would have ended it before that, or changed it, it would have been so much better than it was. Overall pretty good, but not as good as it could have been.
