...unlike [Scorsese's Mean Streets], Ash Wednesday is essentially devoid of interesting characters or even a halfway intriguing plot.
03/30/03
Ash Wednesday is not Edward Burns' best film, but it is a good and ambitious film. And it marks him as one of the most interesting writer/directors working today.
02/23/03
Burns' fifth beer-soaked film feels in almost every possible way -- from the writing and direction to the soggy performances -- tossed off.
10/14/02
An ambitious, guilt-suffused melodrama crippled by poor casting.

Top CriticWe don't see much box-office green in this film's future.
10/11/02
This may be Burns's strongest film since The Brothers McMullen.
10/10/02
This time Mr. Burns is trying something in the Martin Scorsese street-realist mode, but his self-regarding sentimentality trips him up again.
10/10/02
Top CriticFor all its brooding quality, Ash Wednesday is suspenseful and ultimately unpredictable, with a sterling ensemble cast.
10/10/02
Top CriticThere ought to be a directing license, so that Ed Burns can have his revoked.
10/10/02
Despite the authenticity of the trappings, the film is overblown in its plotting, hackneyed in its dialogue and anachronistic in its style.
