4/10
"A prime example of a movie that has clearly been agonized over and loved, but to virtually no ultimate effect."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

"At its best when considering measures of masculinity and dread of not living up to them."  Philadelphia City Paper  Cynthia Fuchs

3/5
"Sometimes we are surprised by the forces that serve as a catalyst for our deepening. . . . a profoundly simple and moving film."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

"Feels dreadfully slow and often inert."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

7/10
"Some of the fantasy sequences play like a Hallmark Hall of Fame production, as does the overly sentimental ending."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

3/4
"More important than the technical precision of the actors' turns is the rapport they all share--which ultimately lends this story of a family its authentic, immediate poignancy."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

3.5/4
"Ultimately, this is a story not just about the forgiveness of others but also about the forgiveness of oneself."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

3/4
"The drama is very powerful, with layers of complexity seldom seen in this subject matter. In that regard, it puts "The Shawshank Redemption" to shame."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

7/10
