Levit 3/4 "Has a relaxed and understated tone that blindsides the viewer at key moments with its dramatic potency."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 2/4 "Aurora Borealis bites Good Will Hunting and Donald Sutherland feels most of the sting."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez "What holds Aurora Borealis together is the complex and very realistic relationships between the characters."   DVD Review   Felix Gonzalez Jr. C+ "A fair-to-middling coming-of-age tale [is] played by a stellar cast in an unusual locale [but] never escapes seeming rather ordinary."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "A well-acted spiritual drama about love, loss, and transformation."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat "Sutherland is outstanding as a fine man devastated by time and disease."   Light Views   John Larsen 6/10 "Some of the characterizations are of quite good with Donald Sutherland giving a very strong performance. But some may find the pacing, like life in this cold town, just a little slow."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 2.5/4 "Fine acting distinguishes Aurora Borealis, a moderately affecting seriocomic character study marred by a weak, tidily resolved third act."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight  (1 - 12) of 12 OFCS Rating: 75% Fresh Page   1
