Dancing at Lughnasa Reviews
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
Soapy melodrama masquerading as high art.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It is all memory and no drama. Onstage, they dance, and they are dancing now. On film, somehow, they are dancing then. It is not enough.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
Friel apart, the making of the film is impressive. In addition to Streep, her sisters are as vital as the script allows.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Dancing at Lughnasa seems unfinished, and its tragedy is diluted and diminished. This is a pity considering the extremely high quality of the performances.
Miami Herald
Sara Wildberger
[These] are a lot of characters to squeeze into a 94-minute movie, especially one that seems compelled to include lots of travelogue-style scenery. Moments that must in the theater have glowered with magic here become drearily obvious.
Common Sense Media
Barbara Shulgasser
Play-based historical drama has mature themes.
