Reviews for One from the Heart
... simultaneously ahead of its time and delightfully quaint, a simple romantic comedy that revels in the dreamy artifice of a meticulously re-created fantasy Las Vegas.

Underwritten and overdirected.

Top CriticThere are plenty of movies out there that deserve to be re-released for a whole new generation of moviegoers to enjoy - this is not one of them.

An interesting production but not a good movie.

Top CriticA grand tribute to the power of love.

One From the Heart is aptly named. No one will mistake it for One From the Brain.

It isn't very good, but at least the highly touted technology is put firmly in the service of the (sometimes painfully sincere) emotions that Francis Ford Coppola wants to communicate, which is more than you can say for Apocalypse Now.

Top CriticWhile it was a fascinating filmmaking experiment in its day -- One From The Heart was initially released in 1982 -- it has not time-travelled very well.

It's even worse now, when its perms and polyester mark it as dated as its sexual politics.

There's not a moment in One From the Heart when Mr. Coppola isn't after something romantic and glorious, something inexpressibly grand. At times, he even gets what he's after.

Top CriticWith more than 200 salaried employees on a 10-acre lot that included 9 soundstages, 34 editing suites, and a gigantic trailer that the mogul dubbed the Silver Fish, Coppola videotaped rehearsals in an effort to cut down on film costs. Alas...

An ambitious misfire by a brilliant filmmaker.

Top Critic[An] often maligned, giddy, superlative romantic musical.
04/15/04
Top CriticA 1982 curio about feeling, not the weighty machinations of plot... but one that offers only moments of studied amusement, not rapt absorption.
01/09/04
A hybrid musical romantic fantasy, lavishing giddy heights of visual imagination and technical brilliance onto a wafer-thin story of true love turned sour, then sweet.
12/11/07
Top CriticAn integral piece of the oeuvre of one of America's great directors.
01/02/04
Top CriticA bold experiment in style and technique that doesn't work.
12/26/03
Top CriticA playful, delightfully unfathomable piece of magic.
01/16/04
Top CriticIt still feels like an exercise, but it's a beautiful one.
