Review For The Eye of the Storm |
Sometimes a feast of acting isn't enough. Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle
A brilliantly acted semi-dud. David Denby-New Yorker
Too often the film's moods switch unsuccessfully between the abruptly serious and the broadly bizarre. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
Rush and Davis are two of the best actors in the business, and their brittle gamesmanship and rue holds the screen. But the film is disappointingly lackluster -- a mild squall instead of a storm. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
It all feels like a whittled-down miniseries. Lou Lumenick-New York Post
The project's ambitions turn out to be greater than its ability to achieve them. Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times
The actors and Fred Schepisi's direction are impeccable but so what? A brilliantly designed death watch is still a death watch. Kirk Honeycutt-honeycuttshollywood.com
Wry drama adapted from a the novel by Australia's Nobel Prize-winning author Patrick White showcases outstanding acting, good writing and an excellent score. Rex Roberts-Film Journal International
An engrossing and well-acted screen adaptation of a 1973 novel by Nobel Prize-winning author Patrick White about a dying matriarch and her two spoiled adult children. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice
Providing exemplary work to a picture in desperate need of defined emotional directions, the cast carries the heavy burden of the material with dignity. The same cannot be said of helmer Fred Schepisi. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com
This adaptation of a prize-winning Australian novel is a stodgy slog save for some sporadic moments of blunt force supplied by Judy Davis and Charlotte Rampling. Bill Weber-Slant Magazine
Sprawling, unfocused account of family dysfunction. Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve
[VIDEO ESSAY] There are three main reasons to see "The Eye of the Storm." Their names are Charlotte Rampling, Geoffrey Rush, and Judy Davis. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com
The film is blackly funny, incisive and often moving, and the performances are spectacular. Liz Braun-Jam! Movies
Charlotte Rampling has been remarkably good at playing craggy old women lately (see Melancholia) and she outdoes herself as Elizabeth. Radheyan Simonpillai-NOW Toronto
