Reviews for Heaven
Top CriticIts compelling mix of trial movie, escape movie and unexpected fable ensures the film never feels draggy.

Top CriticHeaven doesn't exactly reign on high, but it does make for a soul-searching experience.

Top CriticThere's much to admire about Twyker's movie, even if it runs out of gas once it hits the road.

Top CriticSeems to have less to do with lived moral dilemmas than with the smug piety of its makers.
10/25/02
Top CriticA daunting task -- to realize the work of a dead master -- well done.
10/24/02
Top CriticBlanchett's performance transcends cultural barriers, and makes the film well worth seeing.

Top CriticWhile we'll never really know what Kieslowski might have made of this ... we can be reasonably certain even he would be moved by what this unlikely young German filmmaker has made of it.

Top CriticBlanchett, one of the great actresses working today, is mesmerizing.

Top CriticBlanchett's performance confirms her power once again.

Top CriticSome movies suck you in despite their flaws, and Heaven is one such beast.
10/18/02
Top CriticA beautifully designed, lyrical fable of a movie.
10/18/02
Top CriticFurther sad evidence that Tom Tykwer, director of the resonant and sense-spinning Run Lola Run, has turned out to be a one-trick pony -- a maker of softheaded metaphysical claptrap.
10/18/02
Top CriticMr. Tykwer manages to put his own stamp on Heaven without neglecting the vision of the man who wrote it.
10/17/02
Top CriticWe can argue for eternity if this Heaven is the one Kieslowski dreamed of, but we can be grateful that Tykwer had the courage to climb the ladder Kieslowski left behind.
10/17/02
Top CriticHeaven is odd, and awkward in places, but its lyricism and power stay with you.
10/17/02
Top CriticIt's not a completely successful endeavor, partly because of obvious marquee casting and a New Age-y finale reminiscent of Thelma & Louise, but it's still quite compelling.
10/17/02
Top CriticBoth engrossing and moving, a poem about a love that breaks barriers and passes understanding.
10/17/02
Top CriticTykwer is in love with the classic convention of lovers on the lam, but he hasn't worn it out yet. Instead, he consistently renews it.
