Heading South Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The film offers something unusual, a tragic spectacle of normal, recognizable and utterly sympathetic people condemning themselves.
Arizona Republic
Kerry Lengel
The movie avoids devolving into polemic by treating its characters as individuals.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
An unsettling drama by the director of two other remarkable films about class illusions, Human Resources and Time Out.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Steve Murray
Exploring female desire in a way films rarely do, Heading South is a film of sometimes subtle, sometimes blunt metaphors for the interaction of rich and pauperized countries.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
At 60, with three 2006 releases in the can, Rampling still seems an international treasure, a great camera subject and a truly daring actress.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
A nervy but muddleheaded work ... with sharply unpleasant things to say about the First World's moral strip-mining of the Third but an overly tactful way of saying them.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
The women are meant to level the emotional playing field and add depth to what is, at heart, a story about the exploitation of poor nations by rich and powerful ones. But they wind up being too bitter and unstable to elicit much sympathy.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Boasts another formidable and fine-tuned performance from the great Charlotte Rampling.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
A well-acted but misguided tale of displaced sexual longing on the beaches of Baby Doc Duvalier's 1970s Haiti.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
A powerful cocktail of not just sex and love but race, poverty, colonialism and jealousy.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
What is surprising is the delicacy with which Rampling and Cantet -- himself better known as a chronicler of men -- create a character of such potent feminine hunger.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Heading South opens up a fascinating world of complexities, some of which are there on the screen although others open up only once the horizon line moves past the screen's edge.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
In its way, the film is a piercing indictment, though it makes its point without much screaming, hectoring or preening. It's quietly terrific.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Cantet's fascinating, troubling drama has many meanings.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
Heading South is an absorbing extension of Cantet's abiding obsession with the seeding of political inequality in intimate relations.
Observer
Rex Reed
The film is too slow for my taste, but for perfectly formed characters and authentic human conflict, Heading South is beautifully written, carefully photographed and eventually devastating.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Heading South is a seemingly straightforward and simple picture that's really defiantly complex, sexually, politically and emotionally.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Laurent Cantet's devastating new film contemplates the darker social undercurrents beneath a seemingly benign example of sexual tourism. examination of middle-age desire.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The new film by Laurent Cantet (Human Resources and the masterpiece Time Out) is evocative and disturbing.
AV Club
Noel Murray
But though the women talk a lot about the soul-changing effects of great sex, Cantet largely steers clear of cinematic sensuality, making his heroines' satisfaction -- and the way it exploits the poor -- primarily theoretical.
