Critic Reviews
-
Dan Jardine, Cinemania
Thompson gives a real tour-de-force performance, moving professor Bearing from bemusement to curiousity, fear to confusion, anger to anguish with skilful subtlety
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
The dour subject matter and director Mike Nichols' unflinching approach may make this a difficult viewing, but it is rewarding.
-
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
A powerful drama about dying and death that will soften the heart of anyone who sees it.
