    "So much attention and artifice have been lavished on such a thin story. The movie may have been from the heart, but there's not much here from the pen. It's hard to believe that Coppola, the prodigiously gifted screenwriter of The Godfather and The Conversation, co-wrote this trifle (with Armyan Bernstein)."—Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chroniclehttp://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/archive/2004/01/01/DDG31414DP1.DTL&type=movies

    "Francis Coppola's One from the Heart is a hybrid musical romantic fantasy, lavishing giddy heights of visual imagination and technical brilliance onto a wafer-thin story of true love turned sour, then sweet."—Varietyhttp://www.variety.com/review/VE1117793712.html?categoryid=31&cs=1

    "[The film] is a ballet of graceful and complex camera movements occupying magnificent sets, and somehow the characters get lost in the process. There was never a moment in this film when I cared about what was happening to the people in it."—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Timeshttp://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19820101/REVIEWS/201010337/1023
