Christian Science Monitor
Written and directed by a brilliant screen artist at the peak of his powers, it's an utterly original comedy-drama. - 80
TV Guide Magazine
A film such as this, which relies on mood, atmosphere, and ideas, rather than plot, depends on its acting to be effective, and the entire cast is extraordinary, with Shelley Duvall and Sissy Spacek both giving their finest performance ever. - 80
Variety
Absorbing moody and often compelling story. - 50
Village Voice
Today, the movie doesn't portend Altman's subsequent tailspin into irrelevance as much as it suggests a restlessness with the comic realism he had mastered.
