- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It is hard to believe that a film as beautiful as The Mosquito Coast can also be so bleak, but therein lies its power and undoing"
-
"Peter Weir's 1986 adaptation of Paul Theroux's best-selling novel is literally that - an adaptation without much character of its own"
-
"The movie has been directed and acted so well, in fact, that almost all my questions have to do with the script: Why was the hero made so uncompromisingly hateful?"
