So much here is rich and touching, not to mention the string of superb performances, that the film still merits a recommendation.
01/01/00
Willingham, who also scripted Paths of Glory, Little Big Man and The Graduate, wrote Rose in the early 1970s. Thanks to these sterling performances almost two decades later, his screenplay enjoys a fresh and tender blossoming.

Top CriticSeen in a flashback through the eyes of an adolescent, this uncommon coming-of-age tale, which raises poignant questions about the mysteries of sex and love, flaunts a superb performance from Laura Dern as the promiscuous girl

A quirky, funny but moving story with terrific performances all around.

The movie is all character and situation, and contains some of the best performances of the year, especially in the ensemble acting of the four main characters.

Top CriticA modest but pleasingly adult entertainment at a time when even the most promising American films ultimately revert to Pollyannaish platitudes.
