Recommandations

USA Today
Two films in one: an intriguing child-disappearance mystery and an uncommonly affecting domestic drama realized by four terrific central performances. - 70
Salon
So finely crafted, so alive with wonderful acting and an extraordinary commitment to realism that most audiences will be happy to surrender themselves to its improbable ride. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
If the film was less than satisfying as a big-screen event, it's still worth renting for Pfeiffer, who valiantly portrays the devastating complexities of grief and guilt. - 63
ReelViews
Paced more like an action movie than a drama, and, when a pause finally occurs at the end credits, we realize that it hasn't been an altogether satisfying ride. - 60
The New York Times
Grosbard mercifully avoids melodrama -- the only real false notes are musical ones, from a score by Elmer Bernstein that turns familiar and trite when the film does not. - 50
Austin Chronicle
Never fully taps your empathy or your fears; it plays like a movie that's always about someone else. - 50
Rolling Stone
The film ultimately gives in to a case of TV-movie blahs. - 38
Chicago Sun-Times
A painfully stolid movie that lumbers past emotional issues like a wrestler in a cafeteria line, putting a little of everything on his plate.
