Waking the Dead Ratings & Reviews
Daniel Gustavsson
October 12, 2024
Such a different movie. I love parts of it, but some other parts, not so much. The ending splits me down the middle also. I dunno. This is a strange one. Well it's unique at least.
Three Movie Buffs
Scott Nash
Crudup and Connelly outperform the material.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
Waking the Dead is D.O.A., and none of its manifest good intentions are capable of resuscitating it.
Nick's Flick Picks
Nick Davis
An enticingly adult drama that frustratingly loses the nerve to follow its richest threads.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
You can embrace this movie's message, which has less to do with political agendas than basic human decency and the enduring power of love. And if that's not enough to make a film worthwhile, we don't know what is.
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
Connely's great, but Crudup's a revelation in this serious and sobering romantic tragedy.
Film Threat
Caffeinated Clint
As boring as batshit
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Painfully earnest.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
A powerful story of love and politics.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A film teeming with riches.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
It's a good fit for anyone who loves fine acting.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
I can cite only one unequivocal reason for seeing Waking the Dead, and that's Jennifer Connelly.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
When we invest emotional capital, we deserve a payoff.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
The film is one of the more adult offerings out there in a spring movie season peppered with martial arts and superheroes. It may be just what you're looking for.
Village Voice
Jessica Winter
As shrill as its heroine.
San Francisco Examiner
Wesley Morris
As involved as Crudup and Connelly beseech you to be with this story, their very youthfulness, their nagging lack of adulthood, keeps the film from being anything more credible than a tight grad-school tryst.
