RTChicago Sun-TimesJan 1, 2000

It is a thoughtfully written, meticulously directed fantasy in which the actors play their roles with great seriousness. Watching it, I was engrossed in the development of the story and found myself accepting the film's logic on its own terms.

[An] underrated dark horror flick...

The scenes of Anna running around mountains in a moment of escape or toward an enormous lighthouse don't have the feel of something whitewashed like The Sound of Music but rather the dark undercurrent of the delusions of the girls in Heavenly Creatures.

A mesmerizing English film exploring the dreamscapes of a lonely eleven-year old girl.
