"There's a lot that's good in White Palace, involving the heart as well as the mind. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" | POS |

" If White Palace is no 'Last Tango in Paris,' it's at least a sizzling, fat-free 'Last Hamburger in St. Louis.'" | POS |

"While this sort of thing may have worked in the '30s, by today's standards it's half-baked." | NEU |

Time Out | "Glenn Savan's novel offered a stronger exploration of Reaganism and consumerism, but overall he's served well by this intelligent, involving adaptation" | POS |

"Outstanding performances by Susan Sarandon and James Spader, working from a relentlessly witty script, make White Palace one of the best films of its kind since The Graduate" | POS |

"'White Palace' is formula stuff, but it succeeds on the strength of performances, a clever script and thoughtful direction by Luis Mandoki." | POS |
