Sommersby Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
What sounded like an embarrassing blunder -- the romantic pairing of Richard Gere and Jodie Foster -- turns out to be surprisingly entertaining and persuasive.
Hartford Courant
Malcolm Johnson
Sommersby has everything to succeed. There's just one minor problem in this Americanized remake of The Return of Martin Guerre: Who can believe Richard Gere and Jodie Foster as a Tennessee Ashley and Scarlett?
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Lacks whatever magical ingredient there is that makes a film a moving experience and instead settles for being an adequate but not a remarkable achievement.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A winning and soul-stirring exploration of the spiritual meaning of one man's sacrificial death.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Though there is a near vaccuum at the center of the film, Sommersby is never boring, largely because of Ms. Foster's beautifully self-possessed presence.
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
The story idea is an interesting one, but it doesn't quite pan out in the end. There are too many unanswered questions and unresolved conflicts.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
A powerful piece of filmmaking. Gere and Foster are as immaculate as always.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A square peg pounded into a round hole -- or, more exactly, a medieval European story that has been unsuccessfully updated to the period of the American Civil War.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Sommersby is not a terrible movie, there are just many things about it that aren't quite right.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
It's really an old-fashioned hankie-soaker with Gere and Foster ably jerking tears. An odd yet convincing couple, they won't replace Rhett and Scarlet, and frankly, my dears, who can? But belles wring and bosoms heave in a manner most pleasing.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
If you're looking for a picturesque romance -- with a little intrigue on the side -- you could do worse than Sommersby.
