Online "...obvious, heavy-handed and muddled." more... B- filmcritic.com Jules Brenner "The appeal of the piece is limited; the telling of it is accomplished." more... B   Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt "Shaky story and predictable developments make this an off-key ballad." more... C- New York Post Kyle Smith "The wounded honor [Day-Lewis] brings to the role...is the reason the film is more watchable than its stale ideas merit." more... B- New York Times Manohla Dargis "...Ms. Miller has attempted to elevate a small Oedipal story about two damaged souls into a grandiloquent epic, Shakespeare by way of Bob Dylan. She misses by a significantly wide mark..." more... C+ ReelViews James Berardinelli "...The Ballad of Jack and Rose is slow, but it's the unhurried quality of the production that allows the characters to shine through." more... B   * Yahoo!
