(1 - 17) of 17 OFCS Rating: 82% Fresh Page   1   3.5/4 "Cantet's pictures are screwball comedies played straight"   Film Freak Central   Bill Chambers "Three excellent performances from the leading ladies, though at times Cantet's leisurely pace is perhaps a bit too holiday-like."   european-films.net   Boyd van Hoeij 2/5 "While an important message is at the movie's core, Cantet just can't find a way to make us care."   DVDTalk.com   David Cornelius A- "Erotic drama that probes lust, a police state and exploitation in the idyllic sunny climes of Haiti."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz "Director/co-writer Laurent Cantet's Heading South/Vers le sud is uniquely serious and for once from the girls' side of things."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit 3/5 "Una película lúcida y algo desconcertante sobre los deseos y fantasías de un trío de mujeres en vacaciones, con el trasfondo de la dura realidad haitiana del régimen de Duvalier."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio 4/5 " A fascinating French film about two cultures in collision and the sexual drives of middle-age women vacationing in Haiti."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "Director Laurent Cantet dabbles in the waters of change with great subtlety."   Aufmuth.com   Jeanne Aufmuth "Sex and love. The women all give the words different emphasis, but they're really after the same thing."   In the Dark   Jonathan F. Richards 2/5 "Issues of class and race are overwhelmed by the third act melodrama."   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner B+ "Rampling and Young give all kinds of subtle shadings to their performances and their dual scenes of leaving the island, one broken-hearted and accompanied by 'old' Haiti, the other finding a new, horrific exhilaration, deliver a final, resounding punch. "   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3.5/4 "Preoccupied with people's longing for unattainable mastery over forces beyond their control and the facades they assume as a means of compensating for their powerlessness."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 5/5 "A superb drama."   Film Threat   Phil Hall B+ "Heading South represents a very different direction for [director] Cantet from his previous film [Time Out] and the result is satisfying in its own way."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 6/10 "Looking for love in all the wrong places cools in the warmth of the Haitian sun."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson "Heading South is a seemingly straightforward and simple picture that's really defiantly complex, sexually, politically and emotionally."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 17) of 17 OFCS Rating: 82% Fresh Page   1
