Throughout the film, Haines treats...banal moments as epiphanies, telegraphing every feeling and thought with annoying coyness. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
As far as feel-good movies go, this one works in spite of a bloated running length (over two hours) and a plot that could use an injection of originality. Full Review

The movie sees Ruby, the Williams character, clearly and with surprising truthfulness; she has a depth associated with more serious movies. Full Review
