Critic Reviews

As for myself, as Leticia rejoined Hank in the last shot of the movie, I was thinking about her as deeply and urgently as about any movie character I can remember.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

The raw intimacy of some of the scenes -- whether they take place at a diner, in the death house or in the bedroom -- is breathtaking.Full Review

The New York Times

Hank is but the latest of Thornton's strikingly taciturn characters in a whole string of movies, but for Berry, Leticia represents a big-screen breakthrough.Full Review

Kevin Thomas

The actors make it unique and unforgettable.Full Review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

The movie holds you in thrall from first frame to last. Hatred is hatred unslaked. So is racism, ugliness, love, lust and sorrow.Full Review
