Critic Reviews for Enemies, a Love Story

All Critics (13) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (11) | Rotten (2)

Thanks to a superb cast, much of the complexity and nearly all the poignancy of Singer's conception is well served.

Jonathan Rosenbaum
Sight and Sound
Enemies: A Love Story is such an intriguing film because it refuses to be tamed, to settle down into a nice, comforting parable with a lesson to teach us. It is about the tumult of the heart, and Mazursky tells its story without compromise.

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Enemies offers a giddy ride that ultimately goes nowhere.

Chuck O'Leary
Fantastica Daily
Arguably Mazursky's last successful film, this adaptation of Isaac Bashevis Singer of a Holocaust survivor and the women in his life blends humor and pathos and is extremely well acted by Ron Silver, Anjelica Huston and Lena Olin.
