Critic Reviews

Doesn't reach for reality; it's a deliberate attempt to look and feel like a 1940s social problems picture, right down to the texture of the color photography.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

About American anti-Semitism, but it's not a typical genteel "cause" movie.Full Review

Edward Guthmann
San Francisco Chronicle

Two constants: good acting and an old-fashioned preachiness that backfires.Full Review

Mike Clark
USA Today

The movie's surreal style, with its film-noir camerawork and ominous lighting, turns the story into a fable about fear and nonconformism, and Mr. Macy's and Ms. Dern's carefully shaded caricatures match the mood.Full Review

Stephen Holden
The New York Times

Seems embalmed in its own time, an earnest and handsomely crafted museum piece, not an urgent transposition of Miller's moral outrage to the new century.Full Review
