Critic Reviews

The kind of film you've got to admire simply for the way it squares its shoulders and plunges into a message of unfashionable idealism.Full Review

Jay Carr
Boston Globe

The combination of restrained writing and direction and top-of-the-line acting is enough to make even confirmed agnostics want to believe in this unashamed fairy tale.Full Review

Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times

An unusual film that intelligently avoids numerous potential pitfalls even if its central earnestness is ultimately inescapable.Full Review

Todd McCarthy
Variety

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
