Reviews

  • Mike Clark wrote in USA Today that the images of the architecture and trees were the most successful - something one would not expect from Hemingway's biography.
  • Edward Guthmann said in the San Francisco Chronicle (June 27, 1997) that the film was bland. Sandra Bullock is miscast.
  • James Berardinelli criticized the representations of Chris O'Donnell and Sandra Bullock. The chemistry between the main actors is wrong.
