The movie makes the characters worse than enigmas; it makes them the last people imaginable from which you expect or even desire to learn anything. Full Review |

6/10 |
Farrell's acting is so totally likable, he lifts the story from its sudsy roots and elevates it to something worthy of memory. Well, at least if you have a short memory. Full Review |

3/5 |
While the rambling storyline and extended time-frame betrays the script's novelistic roots, soulful performances from Farrell, Sissy Spacek and newcomer Dallas Roberts make this a rich and emotionally rewarding experience. Full Review |

The story devolves into a contest to see which character can be the most selfish and eccentric. Full Review |

3/5 |
The filmmakers drift into sentimentality too easily and badly shy away from the provocative issues they raise (like sexuality). Full Review |
