    Carried Away is a brilliant evocation of rural life and repressed lust. One of the ten-best films of 1996.

    A chilling, Lolita-like drama that's elevated by a terrific performance by Hopper.

    I wasn't carried away with this Lolita like cautionary tale, but I was impressed enough by its intelligent presentation.

    Tries to incorporate almost film-noir elements into a heartland love story. The blending feels inorganic; and composer Bruce Broughton doesn't help matters by coating every moment with a repetitive, syrupy theme.

    The performances are captivating, so much so that the film's sometimes slow pace is never a real problem.

    Think Dennis Hopper has played too many crazies? Well, you'll wish he'd stuck to blowing up buses after you see him in Carried Away.

    Carried Away is erotic, but it's also thoughtful and intelligent, and, coupled with Hopper's extraordinary performance, that's reason enough to be carried away by this motion picture.

    Everyone in the film -- even the teenager -- is more intelligent and articulate than is usually permitted in American movies, and having gotten themselves into an emotional tangle, they go to work getting themselves out again.
