Critic Reviews for Angel

All Critics (6) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (1)

Immensely engrossing.

September 21, 2005

Robert Koehler
Variety
Despite some neatly understated yet complex performances by Griffiths and newcomer Everett, the film has a tendency to meander from scene to scene without ever sufficiently engaging the viewer.

Michael Rechtshaffen
Hollywood Reporter
[Director Jim] McKay never finds an effective way to drive this paradox home, though he is an honest enough filmmaker to expose it.
