	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"[The movie is] dedicated to all the people who didn't marry the person they should have. It is a movie on the side of love, and it is one of the finest movies of the year (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Pauline Kael The New Yorker	"John Cassavetes built this movie on a small conceit -- a love affair between two people who are wildly unsuited to each other -- and it doesn't take root."	NEU
United States	Richard Brody The New Yorker	"The sculptural physicality of the images, a 3-D explosion without glasses, embodies that violence while preserving the antagonists' innocent grace; love smooths things out to a dreamy and reflective shine."	POS
United States	Vincent Canby The New York Times	"The fact is that although I admired specific things about the film, I never laughed very much and only felt slight, distant tremors of the joy that, I assume, rocked everyone connected with the movie during its production."	NEU
