"While the characters are mostly stock figures we've seen other versions of elsewhere, the cast is immensely talented, setting this film apart from similar entries." - Charles Yost, Oregonian
"Paul Thomas Anderson is too much of an auteur for such a traditional story. As a fan, his involvement in what is ultimately a fairly forgettable story is disappointing." - Mark Gilbert, Boston Globe
"It's fun watching the talented cast play in the playground Paul Thomas Anderson and Seth Overton have constructed for them, and the production is top-shelf across the board from all the technical standpoints." - Olive Carroll, Houston Chronicle
