A loving and lovely film.

Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News
Fresh

A brave film in the way it shows two people who find any relationship almost impossible, and yet find a way to make theirs work.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh

The actors' scenes together are simultaneously abrasive and oddly gentle: two untamable people trying to stabilize each other.

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Fresh

Perhaps the most harrowing screen romance ever.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Fresh

Lee's humanitarian plea for tolerance is one of the most original films of the decade, and Moon provides the soul.

G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle
