Reviews for Heaven
If Heaven doesn't quite achieve the transcendent power that Kieslowski might have attained, it comes close.

Though death robbed Krzysztof Kieslowski of the opportunity, substantial contributions from the visually adept Tykwer allowed him to leave us a little slice of "Heaven."

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.

Seems to have less to do with lived moral dilemmas than with the smug piety of its makers.
10/25/02
A gorgeously strange movie, Heaven is deeply concerned with morality, but it refuses to spell things out for viewers.
10/25/02
Heaven has some good as well as disturbing moments, but isn't the cinematic nirvana that the title otherwise suggests.
10/25/02
The ambiguous note on which Heaven ends would be irritating in a conventional film, but here it seems curiously fitting.

For audiences not bored by allegory, Heaven is worth the wait
