This is basically brooding people doing awkward things in a humid environment.

Tom Long, Detroit News

The only positive thing about the aimless film The Yellow Handkerchief is the idea that William Hurt may be ready for his Jeff Bridges moment.

Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

The unhurried direction of Udayan Prasad and the unafraid choices of the sure-footed cast keep this character-driven drama afloat.

Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The Yellow Handkerchief is a love story. Two, really. At its center is the sweetly fractured ticking of a broken heart on the mend.

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

This modest but moving indie ensemble piece puts three estimable actors in a convertible, sets them on a long drive to post-Katrina Louisiana and lets the character dynamics do the rest.

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
