Reviews
Roger Ebert praised the actors' achievements in the Chicago Sun-Times on April 21, 1989. Jeff Bridges seems " relaxed " in his role , Alice Krige is a " good choice " for the role of his second wife. The film is one of those films that would not “ spare ” the audience . The script is so " uncompromising ", " fair " and " intelligent " that the audience would have difficulties to cope with the events emotionally.
Hal Hinson wrote in the Washington Post on April 21, 1989 that director and screenwriter Alan J. Pakula was more interested in a " simplified " account of the psychological aspects than in exploring them. The faces of the actors would look like stiff masks, but Jeff Bridges sometimes manages to show " authentic emotions ".
Georg Seeßlen wrote in his book Drew Barrymore that Drew Barrymore appears " sick ", " disturbed " and " unprofessional " in the film.
