By the time we get to the point where the camera is endlessly circling Shepard sitting on a sofa in the middle of the street, it feels as if he and his director were making things up as they went along.

The story is as meandering as it is self-indulgent.
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic

The charm here is in watching Shepard and Lange, and Shepard and Saint play off one another, and the leisurely pace of the 'discoveries' that aren't really secrets in the first place.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
Spence has much in common with Shepard and Wenders. They seem equally bewildered about what to do, other than spending nearly two hours demonstrating that Spence is a self-pitying fool.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star

Suffers badly from an emotional aimlessness.
