Critics' reviews

"The movie is kind of sweet and kind of goofy, and works because its heart is in the right place (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Unless you're a fan of Slater or Tomei, or hopelessly addicted to sappy, ineptly-handled love stories, there's no reason whatsoever to subject yourself to this movie"

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
Tearjerking aside, Untamed Heart reminds us of the bravery it takes to love. That's the ultimate source of its appeal."

Jay Carr: Boston Globe
"Tomei remains an amazingly clear and vivid presence (...) She'll be remembered; Untamed Heart almost certainly won't be."

Dave Kehr: Chicago Tribune
"It's a sure sign of how good Tomei is that she can even occasionally do something with Tom Sierchio's lachrymose script"

Jonathan Rosenbaum: Chicago Reader
"You might expect a predictable romance pitched on the level of a TV sitcom. But 'Untamed Heart' is a movie of rare sweetness"

Mick LaSalle: San Francisco Chronicle
