Sarah Polley, a terrific actress, now serves notice that she is a director to watch.

Full Review | May 21, 2007

Away From Her is a phantom of a movie whose beautiful flakes fall into the deep crevices of memory long after the seasons change.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 18, 2007

Superb, from its subtle atmospheres to its fine performances. Julie Christie is exquisite as ever purveying the spirit of a woman whose radiance remains even as it dims like the glow of sunset on a snowbound lake.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 11, 2007

Away From Her got to me in a way no other movie has this year, eliciting copious tears.

| Original Score: 4/4 | May 11, 2007

Sarah Polley's sad, wise and simply dazzling directorial effort beams with warmth.

Upon seeing Away From Her again, I'm content with my sense memory. I'm even more pleased with how much of this fine film's nuance and detail feel fresh.

Away From Her isn't just a portrait of Alzheimer's. For a generation that doesn't have a lot of marital role models, it's also a lyrical portrait of what it means to stick with a person for the long run. There are no easy answers.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 11, 2007

In Away From Her, four of the best actors in the world turn material worthy of their talents into the best movie of the year so far. The result is moving the way the best-written literature can be, telling us something about ourselves.

It's Christie who places this powerful love story about the cruelties of aging within hailing distance of Leo McCarey's sublime Make Way for Tomorrow.

| Original Score: 4/4 | May 10, 2007

Bergmanesque and beautiful, set in a wintry landscape fitfully lit by one woman's flickering awareness and one man's long-term, stubborn love, Away from Her is one of the most remarkable and moving love stories the movies have recently given us.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4 | May 10, 2007

[A] modest yet infinitely moving film of love, loss and memory.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | May 10, 2007

Rarely has love at any age been depicted so honestly on screen. For such a fully realized portrait to be created by a 28-year-old first-time director is even more remarkable.

[A] superbly tacit chamber piece.

Full Review | May 9, 2007

I think it's one of this year's finest and most memorable films.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 9, 2007

Polley gets great work from the entire cast.

| May 9, 2007

The movie, [Sarah] Polley's feature début, is a small-scale triumph that could herald a great career.

| May 7, 2007

As terrific as Christie's performance is, it's the superb Pinsent who's left to register most of the internal emotional turbulence as a reserved man who no longer shares a past with the woman he's spent his life with.
