Lacks too much of Tykwer's pacing or Kieslowski's deep-thinking to make it worthwhile.

Seems to have less to do with lived moral dilemmas than with the smug piety of its makers.

Its themes are also more relevant and understandable, but Heaven is still premeditated, conceptual, and vigilant.

A love story that's also about the slow, incremental meting out of right, Heaven has some absolutely gorgeous imagery but there’s also a frustrating reluctance to externalize some of the story's main issues.

while Franka Potente fans may keenly feel her absence in this film, the addition of the absolutely phenomenal Cate Blanchett more than balances the books.

The story is a rather simplistic one: grief drives her, love drives him, and a second chance to find love in the most unlikely place - it struck a chord in me.

A gorgeously strange movie, Heaven is deeply concerned with morality, but it refuses to spell things out for viewers.

Mr. Tykwer manages to put his own stamp on Heaven without neglecting the vision of the man who wrote it.

The search for redemption makes for a touching love story, mainly because Blanchett and Ribisi compellingly tap into a spiritual aspect of their characters' suffering.
11/13/02
Tykwer is an intriguing filmmaker in his own right, and his creative approach to storytelling seems a bit stifled here. He sometimes reveals the same tale three different ways. While it’s easy to see why he’d be eager to bring a coda to Kieslowski’s legac
11/03/02
An elegantly shot thriller, which manages to be compelling until its final act.

Tykwer's created a film that's just as unusual as anything he's done before and is mesmerizing virtually from start to finish.
