Waking the Dead Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A film teeming with riches.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
It's a good fit for anyone who loves fine acting.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
I can cite only one unequivocal reason for seeing Waking the Dead, and that's Jennifer Connelly.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
When we invest emotional capital, we deserve a payoff.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
You can embrace this movie's message, which has less to do with political agendas than basic human decency and the enduring power of love. And if that's not enough to make a film worthwhile, we don't know what is.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
A powerful story of love and politics.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
Waking the Dead is bad in just about every way that a movie can be bad.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
Waking the Dead is D.O.A., and none of its manifest good intentions are capable of resuscitating it.
Three Movie Buffs
Scott Nash
Crudup and Connelly outperform the material.
Nick's Flick Picks
Nick Davis
An enticingly adult drama that frustratingly loses the nerve to follow its richest threads.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
The film is one of the more adult offerings out there in a spring movie season peppered with martial arts and superheroes. It may be just what you're looking for.
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
Connely's great, but Crudup's a revelation in this serious and sobering romantic tragedy.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Painfully earnest.
Village Voice
Jessica Winter
As shrill as its heroine.
San Francisco Examiner
Wesley Morris
As involved as Crudup and Connelly beseech you to be with this story, their very youthfulness, their nagging lack of adulthood, keeps the film from being anything more credible than a tight grad-school tryst.
