Sharp-edged, perfectly timed, funny and thoughtful.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

A ponderous stage adaptation that expends only the mildest effort to overcome its staginess.
Michael Atkinson, Mr. Showbiz

Despite my reservations about Spacey's performance, the film is generally very well acted.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
It makes exactly the point that is the opposite of the point it thought it was making: Acting isn't enough.

If you're prepared to accept an inherent staginess that gradually fades as the film progresses, you can become caught up in a drama of extraordinary power and insight.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
