Roger Ebert

RTChicago Sun-TimesJan 1, 2000

Here is a quiet film of a conventional story, a star vehicle designed to show everyone to advantage.

Gish rules the day as the more empathetic sister, but Anderson brings them to a masterful finale.

E

Ellie Lucas

RTFrom the Front RowJun 4, 2019

A quiet, unassuming masterpiece that deserves to be cherished,

H

Hilary Mantel

RTThe SpectatorSep 5, 2018

This is not acting, but simply ex- isting in front of a camera.
