Denver should not get the first and last look at one of the most triumphant performances of Vanessa Redgrave's career. It deserves to be seen everywhere.

Reviews for A Rumor of Angels
If there was any doubt that Peter O'Fallon didn't have an original bone in his body, A Rumor of Angels should dispel it.
02/01/02
That death is merely a transition is a common tenet in the world's religions. This deeply spiritual film taps into the meaning and consolation in afterlife communications.
02/01/02
All the heart tugging in this world (and beyond) fails to generate anything worth believing here.
02/01/02
Rumor, a muddled drama about coming to terms with death, feels impersonal, almost generic.
02/01/02
Top CriticWhat's most offensive isn't the waste of a good cast, but the film's denial of sincere grief and mourning in favor of bogus spiritualism.
01/31/02
As A Rumor of Angels reveals itself to be a sudsy tub of supernatural hokum, not even Ms. Redgrave's noblest efforts can redeem it from hopeless sentimentality.

Top CriticIts gentle, touching story creeps into your heart.
01/31/02
No amount of good intentions is able to overcome the triviality of the story.
01/31/02
Decent but dull.
01/30/02
Top CriticShort-story quaint, touchingly mending a child's pain for his dead mother via communication with an old woman straight out of Eudora Welty.
