The Eighth Day Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Watching The Eighth Day, I felt contradictory impulses. On the one hand, I was acutely aware of how conventional the story was. On the other, I was enchanted by the friendship between Harry and Georges.
USA Today
Mike Clark
Try imagining Rain Man without the laughs but with fantasy sequences featuring a Mexican singer in garb out of Chevy Chase's Three Amigos! and a mouse.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A buoyant spiritual film that celebrates the mysteries of friendship and precious moments of wonder when life sparkles.
