The ending of Jacob's Ladder, when it finally arrives, is, like much of the film, both quaint and devastating.Full Review
Janet Maslin
The New York Times
This movie left me reeling with turmoil and confusion, with feelings of sadness and despair. Those are the notes it strives for.Full Review
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
I wouldn't go so far as to classify Jacob's Ladder as a masterpiece, but it is smart and compelling and unquestionably worth a first or second look.Full Review

One sits through Ladder halfway engrossed, though always with a sense that its impending punchline will render the preceding an industrial- strength put-on. Then again, there are people out there who thought Ghost was profound. [2 Nov 1990, p.6D]Full Review

USA Today
True to his resume, director Lyne produces a frenetic battery of visceral images, ominous music and that ol' faithful standby, the eerie background chorus. To give Lyne his relentless due, this does make for some heart-thumping moments. But it also causes Ladder to fall ultimately flat on its surrealistic face, the victim of too many fake-art sequences.Full Review
