Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: It has enough opulent, oversized romanticism to make it a guilty pleasure, not to mention three attractive and appealing characters and, of course, that song. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: A nicely weepy melodrama. Read more
Loren King, Chicago Tribune: A remarkable movie. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: An oddity that takes itself much too seriously. Read more
Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic: It's intelligent, well-acted and beautifully photographed. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Oddly enough, the film itself is lushly engaging, even if it covers some of the same ground as The Pianist with less artistry and more melodrama. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: A beautiful period piece. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: It's a stirring and provocative affirmation of the power and resilience of love. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: There's a whiff of exploitation about any movie that claims the Holocaust as a 'backdrop,' and Rolf Schubel's treacly tale of three men lovesick for the same blue-eyed beauty fairly reeks of it. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: Read more
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: Its old-fashioned romanticism is heady, and the relationships among the characters are intriguing. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Odd, how affecting this imperfect film becomes. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: Gloomy Sunday has a mood and a magic about it that elicit emotion from the beginning and make an audience follow it down its curving and melancholy path. Read more
Edward Crouse, Village Voice: An apocryphal, pretty, and somewhat pat biography of the title ballad. Read more
