 "The film seems a dead weight. The lack of pace kills it, although, in a movie about cancer, this might be apt."
-- Trinity, IOFILM.CO.UK
 "A captivating and intimate study about dying and loving..."
-- Dennis Schwartz, OZUS' WORLD MOVIE REVIEWS
"Laconic and very stilted in its dialogue, this indie flick never found its audience, probably because it's extremely hard to relate to any of the characters."
-- Christopher Null, FILMCRITIC.COM
"Photographed with melancholy richness and eloquently performed yet also decidedly uncinematic."
-- Joe McGovern, MATINEE MAGAZINE
"Münch's genuine insight makes the film’s occasional overindulgence forgivable."
-- Jeremy Heilman, MOVIEMARTYR.COM
"It has a subtle way of getting under your skin and sticking with you long after it's over."
-- Paul Doro, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL
"When the film ended, I felt tired and drained and wanted to lie on my own deathbed for a while."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER

"A melancholy, emotional film."
-- Eric D. Snider, ERICDSNIDER.COM
"Bisset still commands the screen as the graceful and outspoken Frances."
-- Michael Phillips, CITYSEARCH
"Although sensitive to a fault, it’s often overwritten, with a surfeit of weighty revelations, flowery dialogue, and nostalgia for the past and roads not taken."
-- David Noh, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL
"To the film's credit, the acting is fresh and unselfconscious, and Munch is a marvel of reality versus sappy sentiment."
-- Jon Lap, APOLLO GUIDE
"Excellent performances from Jacqueline Bisset and Martha Plimpton grace this deeply touching melodrama."
-- Ken Fox, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
"...too dull to enjoy."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
-- "Doesn't reach for the obvious buttons that a weepy mainstream cancer film, like 'Stepmom' or 'Life As a House,' would push."
-- Jon Popick, PLANET SICK-BOY

"Playing a role of almost Bergmanesque intensity ... Bisset is both convincing and radiant."
-- Michael Wilmington, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"It's delicate, haunting and sultry."
-- Gene Seymour, NEWSDAY
"Bisset delivers a game performance, but she is unable to save the movie."
-- V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST
"A thoughtful, moving piece that faces difficult issues with honesty and beauty."
-- Erin Meister, BOSTON GLOBE
"From the dull, surreal ache of mortal awareness emerges a radiant character portrait."
-- Dennis Lim, VILLAGE VOICE
"Its rhythms and currents sink into a viewer's consciousness and linger in the mind."
-- Mick LaSalle, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"Munch's screenplay is tenderly observant of his characters. He watches them as they float within the seas of their personalities. His scenes are short and often unexpected."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
