"...[Ullman gives] a rigourous, heartfelt performance..." 05/03/1990 p.35New York Times
"...Kline gives the kind of bravura performance not often found in movies....[Everything he] does is both too much and absolutely right..." 04/06/1990 p.C8 Chicago Sun-Times 8 of 10
The result is an actor's dream, a film in which the truth of almost every scene has to be excavated out of the debris of social inhibition. I am not so sure this is a dream film for an audience, however; the moviegoer eager for plot and drama is likely to grow impatient and think nothing much is happening on the screen, when in fact volumes are happening inside the minds and consciences of the characters. - Roger Ebert
