A Rumor of Angels Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
This cloying, voices-from-the-other-side story is hell.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
As A Rumor of Angels reveals itself to be a sudsy tub of supernatural hokum, not even Ms. Redgrave's noblest efforts can redeem it from hopeless sentimentality.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
Decent but dull.
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
The screenplay by James Eric, James Horton and director Peter O'Fallon ... is so pat it makes your teeth hurt.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
Long on twinkly-eyed close-ups and short on shame.
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
Given the fact that virtually no one is bound to show up at theatres for it, the project should have been made for the tube.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Short-story quaint, touchingly mending a child's pain for his dead mother via communication with an old woman straight out of Eudora Welty.
Village Voice
Wendy Lee
The film's darker moments become smoothed over by an overwhelming need to tender inspirational tidings, especially in the last few cloying moments.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
There are times when A Rumor of Angels plays like an extended episode of Touched by an Angel -- a little too much dancing, a few too many weeping scenes -- but I liked its heart and its spirit.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
A spiritual exploration of sorts, offering a message of hope that resonates.
Denver Post
John Moore
Denver should not get the first and last look at one of the most triumphant performances of Vanessa Redgrave's career. It deserves to be seen everywhere.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
Rumor, a muddled drama about coming to terms with death, feels impersonal, almost generic.
culturevulture.net
Bob Aulert
The actors don't inhabit their roles -- they're trapped by them, forced to change behavior in bizarre unjustified fashion and spout dialog that consists mostly of platitudes.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
Its gentle, touching story creeps into your heart.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
What's most offensive isn't the waste of a good cast, but the film's denial of sincere grief and mourning in favor of bogus spiritualism.
Boxoffice Magazine
Shlomo Schwartzberg
If there was any doubt that Peter O'Fallon didn't have an original bone in his body, A Rumor of Angels should dispel it.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
That death is merely a transition is a common tenet in the world's religions. This deeply spiritual film taps into the meaning and consolation in afterlife communications.
Citysearch
Michael Phillips
The problem with movies about angels is they have a tendency to slip into hokum. A Rumor of Angels doesn't just slip -- it avalanches into forced fuzziness.
E! Online
All the heart tugging in this world (and beyond) fails to generate anything worth believing here.
