House of the Spirits, The |
|
Joe Brown's review: "'House' is performed in English, but the acting is so unaccountably, embarrassingly stilted, it feels dubbed -- you keep looking for subtitles."
Cynthia Fuchs' review of the movie from a feminist perspective. Originally appeared in the Philadelphia City Paper.
Chris Hicks' review: "...the film just plods along in an episodic manner, skimming the surface, skipping over details and never builds any emotional steam whatsoever. August's episodic vignettes seem choppy; and while his actors plunge in with their all, the results are uneven."
Roger Ebert's review: "All of the characters have the right names, all of the necessary events occur, and indeed the very best local actors have been engaged. But the soul has been mislaid."
