Director Sydney Pollack has given a skilled, observant mounting as he carefully allows the man to grow in experience and knowhow.

A flawed but immensely appealing film.

There are momoments of great beauty and terror and deeply earned pathos. There are as well such not-so-incidental pleasures as John Rubinstein's lovely and serviceable musical score, and a cast of excellent supporting actors.

Roger Greenspun, New York Times
