Critics' Reviews
"Clear the decks – this is a great ride. The performances are absolutely stunning - true powerhouse roles like we haven't since in a loooong time. I bet comparisons to Cat on a Hot Tin Roof are inevitable, and dare I say that DiCaprio and Winslet outshine Taylor and Newman (it's a tough call, but I said it). Maybe the Academy can redeem itself and nominate Winslet AND DiCaprio this time. This is a sure bet come Oscar season.—Dave Feldman"Ain't It Cool News: Two Early Reviews... (August 25, 2008)"Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet give Oscar worthy performances throughout the film, their fights are intense and one in particular gave me the chills. I thought some parts in the middle were really slow involving Frank at work and Frank and April with the neighbors but it might just be that April and Frank are miserable and their life is boring, and it made me bored to watch it sometimes"—JayDigglerAin't It Cool News: Two Early Reviews...
