Sweet Dreams Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
Lange has real authority here, and the performance holds you emotionally. This is one of the few times I've seen people cry at a movie that wasn't sentimental -- it's an honest tearjerker. People can cry without feeling they've been had.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
But the resulting film is scattershot, always skirting the surface, never digging deep enough, runnning through events as if it was a TV movie racing ahead to the next commercial break.
Washington Post
Paul Attanasio
"Sweet Dreams" doesn't draw you in the way, say, "Coal Miner's Daughter" (the story of Loretta Lynn) did, but it does entertain.
TV Guide
Director Karel Reisz and screenwriter Robert Getchell create a tightly woven drama with two strong main characters and a number of fine supporting roles, and the love story at the film's center is convincing.
Los Angeles Times
Sheila Benson
Lange and Harris, dangerously well-matched, give us lovers whom only success could sunder.
Variety
Variety Staff
Clearly the coal miner's daughter's cousin by both birthright and ambition, Sweet Dreams upholds the family honor quite well.

Patsy Cline musical bio hits true notes

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Beautifully celebrates the spirit of country singer Patsy Cline.
James Sanford on Film
James Sanford
Jessica Lange plays Cline and gives her friskiest, most intriguing performance to date.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Miss Lange makes herself a perfect physical extension of the vibrant, changeable, enormously expressive woman who can be heard on these recordings.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
There isn't the sense of a well-shaped structure in this movie; there's no clear idea of what the filmmakers thought about Patsy Cline, or what thoughts her life is supposed to inspire.
