The Yellow Handkerchief movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: The sleepy scenery and charming performances -- Stewart escapes her vampires and reminds everyone what the fuss used to be about -- keep The Yellow Handkerchief from blowing it. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: William Hurt, who specializes in playing high-strung, upscale neurotics, brings his formidable skills to The Yellow Handkerchief. Read more
Nicolas Rapold, Time Out: A wispy story of revelation that's blessed with gorgeously photographed Southern discomfort, and beset by on-the-nose dialogue and awkward time-shifting. Read more
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture: The first half of The Yellow Handkerchief is the half-movie of the year, and the rest isna(TM)t bad -- just more sentimental, more ordinary. Read more
Keith Phipps, AV Club: It's nice to see a film unafraid to be quiet and sensitive, but one good gust of coastal breeze would blow this one away. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Even Stewart, an untutored colt of an actress who can toggle between natural grace and utter haplessness, finds her groove here. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: This is basically brooding people doing awkward things in a humid environment. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Here the fascination is Hurt, so deft at steering his character away from booby-trap cliches that he guides his young costars safely out of sap's way and brightens an otherwise very yellowed tale. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: [Arthur] Cohn has assembled a quartet of gifted actors who are captivating under Prasad's perceptive direction. Read more
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: Director Udayan Prasad knows how to maximize tight spaces and closed-up characters, but Stewart underwhelms with her churlish pout and Southern twang, while Redmayne is simply annoying. Read more
Lou Lumenick, New York Post: Erin Dignam's episodic script, brimming with humor and honest emotion -- and the pitch-perfect direction of Udayan Prasad -- thankfully avoids manipulating the audience at every turn. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: With tired eyes, a hesitant stoop and thinning hair, William Hurt makes only occasional appearances in films these days, but he's forgotten nothing about the kind of niche acting that informed his early work and won him a coveted Best Actor Oscar. Read more
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: The Yellow Handkerchief is a surprisingly moving drama -- a throwback to the small, character-driven indies of yesteryear. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: You don't need an original story for a movie. You need original characters and living dialogue. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: This modest but moving indie ensemble piece puts three estimable actors in a convertible, sets them on a long drive to post-Katrina Louisiana and lets the character dynamics do the rest. Read more
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: The unhurried direction of Udayan Prasad and the unafraid choices of the sure-footed cast keep this character-driven drama afloat. Read more
Aaron Hillis, Village Voice: All three leads are solidly convincing in their candor. And Oscar-winning cinematographer Chris Menges (The Mission) shoots the hell out of the swampy South to make for a nontoxic diversion. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: The Yellow Handkerchief is a love story. Two, really. At its center is the sweetly fractured ticking of a broken heart on the mend. Read more
