The New York Times
Set against lovely verdant scenery but structured as a series of rambling vignettes, the stories in Being Human don't entirely mesh. - 70
Chicago Reader
Some of the precise meanings of this Bill Forsyth comedy eluded me, but the vibes couldn't have been nicer. - 50
Boston Globe
Being Human isn't totally devoid of the gentle Forsyth magic. But it doesn't have nearly enough of it. Even Williams can do only so much with an assignment that calls for him to mostly stand around looking bummed out - in quintuplicate. [06 May 1994] - 42
Baltimore Sun
This is a strange and indeed foolish film. [29 Apr 1994] - 40
Austin Chronicle
A nifty idea that goes everywhere (and nowhere). - 38
ReelViews
For all of its existential posturing, Being Human ends up being a rather shallow motion picture. - 38
TV Guide Magazine
Bill Forsyth's films are always idiosyncratic, but Being Human is so steeped in the director's interior dialogue with himself as to be incomprehensible to anyone who doesn't happen to be Bill Forsyth - 20
Empire
There are atmospheric shots of billowing thunder clouds, priests on cliff tops, bloody stigmata and moody eclipses, but it all amounts to nothing.
