(1 - 11) of 11 OFCS Rating: 82% Fresh Page   1   "Five Minutes of Heaven is an almost-great film that gets points for sticking with its confused and conflicted characters as long as it does."   Examiner.com   Adam Lippe 2/5 "comes off as somewhat heavy-handed, if not outright pointless."   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin "Alas for 'Five Minutes of Heaven,' confrontations seem rigged and resolution is tacked on in minutes."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit 4/5 "A poignant and emotionally gripping drama about two men locked in the past and given a chance to reconcile with each other after many years of inner torment and anger."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "The movie might have been more tense had it been a little more quiet. Neeson and Nesbitt, however, are so good that narrative hiccups never threaten to lose us..."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/5 "full review at Movies for the Masses"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis B "James Nesbitt is searing in a performance that bubbles both with rage and a tightrope type of wit."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "[T]his difficult, uncomfortable film... deconstructs the notion of what 'evil' is... Subtle and sharp in how it turns over notions of revenge and grief, forgiveness and empathy, compassion and understanding..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 5/5 "Never taking the easy way out, Five Minutes of Heaven digs down to the very core of twin hell-on-earth existences."   JWR   S. James Wegg 6/10 "Five Minutes of Heaven is a frustrating inconsistent film which provides a vehicle for some truly outstanding acting..."   Playback:stl   Sarah Boslaugh 4.5/5 "A damn good film, one that trades in harsh, dark material, but never loses sight of the true nature of humanity."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg  (1 - 11) of 11 OFCS Rating: 82% Fresh Page   1
