Critic Reviews

The movie sees World War II and the following years through the eyes of those who went away and those who stayed at home, and it tells one small true story that represents the incalculable effect of the war.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

In between all the sentimental (i.e. corny) mumbo-jumbo is a potentially fascinating subplot.Full Review

Chicago Tribune

Negotiating the role of a forward-thinking woman constrained by family demands and era, Elliott elevates a picture that's lovely to look at but lacking in dramatic impact.Full Review

Carla Meyer
San Francisco Chronicle

Though Burmester and Elliott make able sparring partners, Red Betsy literally succumbs to an on-the-nose staging of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol,” with the old man cast as the model for Scrooge in a school play.Full Review
