Far and Away Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Far and Away looks like an epic, but it lacks flavor and texture. It's so predigested there's nothing left to chew on.
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
This is a very well-intentioned film and director Ron Howard does the best he can with it, but it is too long, too slow and too dumb.
eFilmCritic.com
Greg Muskewitz
It's Ron Howard doing his "thing." Which, if you don't know, is sucking it for all it is worth, with having little to begin with, and trying his darndest to spread an Oscar cream to illuminate it.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Away isn't for cynics, providing an authentic rush of experience that makes the effort feel huge, even when it details the smallest interests of the heart.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It's depressing that such a lavish and expensive production, starring an important actor like Tom Cruise, could be devoted to such a shallow story.
Common Sense Media
Heather Boerner
Intense, treacly Cruise-Kidman immigrant epic.
Austin Chronicle
Kathleen Maher
There is a lot of stuff here -- bustles, hats, lace, gowns, Robert Prosky, top hats, carriages, and a really grand long shot of the Oklahoma land rush -- but you take it all away and you're left with something like Blue Lagoon.
Associated Press
Dolores Barclay
[Howard] has cast two actors -- Cruise and Nicole Kidman -- who simply do not have the scope or abilities to carry an epic. And he does not have a strong enough support team to fill in the gaps.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
Far and Away... is the director's attempt to step into the cinematic shoes of directors John Ford and David Lean. And, certainly, he's stepped into something with this sprawling, old-fashioned melodrama.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
A little irreverence and some revisionist strokes would have lent some welcome spice to this bland meat-and-potatoes serving of U.S. history.
Washington Post
John F. Kelly
What is a surprise is that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are almost entirely credible in their roles.
New York Times
Caryn James
This time the concept of TV-for-a-very-big-screen comes out silly.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Even at its hokiest, Far and Away is never less than heartfelt.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Chris Hicks
The story is ridiculously old-fashioned, with romantic flourishes and visual spectacle (the land-rush scenes are outstanding) in place of an interesting storyline and well-developed characters.
Hartford Courant
Malcolm Johnson
With its terrific cast and splendid production values, Howard's family saga looks like far and away the grandest new-old movie of 1992.
Fort Worth Business Press
Michael H. Price
Overblown would-be epic of the Western frontier.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
An enjoyable, highly-romantic, somewhat witty film
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Poorly written and simplistically acted, the film also shows little chemistry between real-life couple Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.
