	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"It's so overwritten it becomes an exercise in style rather than a story about its characters (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU

United States	Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly	"Things to do in Denver when You’re Dead‘s greatest achievement is that there isn’t a single convincing scene in it"	NEG
