What are critics saying?
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
One of the truest, most luminous love stories ever made.
New York Times by Vincent Canby
It's a movie of such extraordinary intimacy that it has the effect of breaking into mysterious components many things we ordinarily accept without thought, familiar and banal objects, faces, attitudes, and emotions, especially love.
