Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Anges has nothing but affection for its characters and fondness for their quirkiness. - 63
Charlotte Observer
It flies apart when it clumsily introduces humor at a funeral or an application for death benefits. - 63
Chicago Sun-Times
This is a modest but likable film, and Anjelica Huston plays a heroine who makes us smile. - 60
Washington Post
A generally well-made tale of humor and hard luck. - 60
Time
There are a reserve and a realism in Huston's work that make her very modest film more affecting than you might expect. - 58
Portland Oregonian
Though the film occasionally rises to moments of genuine emotion and wit, it slips appallingly into corniness and hokum before coming to an abrupt and unconvincing end.
