- 60Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasSo much of the film is so funny, inspired and sophisticated, the performances so richly nuanced, that many viewers, Rudolph admirers in particular, will be inclined to forgive a little self-indulgence on the part of this authentic auteur.

- 10SalonAndrew O'HehirSalonAndrew O'HehirClassic Rudolph: a tone of sweet-edged, slightly kooky melancholy, a terrific cast mostly left to its own devices and a few intriguing moments. Not, I'm sorry to say, a movie.
