United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"'Guinevere' is not perfect (...) But the movie's heart is in the right place (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Rita Kempley The Washington Post	"Wells, a veteran screenwriter (...) makes an assured debut behind the camera, with a great deal of help from cinematographer Charles Minsky"	POS
United States	Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle	"The twist on this story makes for interesting viewing, although the movie bogs down during several fuzzily romantic interludes (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"[Wells'] beguiling film has a persuasive been-there, done-that knowingness"	POS
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"An actress of enormous skill and poise (...) Polley can convey any emotion you can name, and a few you can’t put your finger on."	POS
