Jonathan Rosenbaum

RTChicago ReaderMay 24, 2022

Jane Campion’s first theatrical feature has just about everything a great film should have. Above all it boasts the creation of a world peculiarly its own.

Roger Ebert

RTChicago Sun-TimesJan 1, 2000

Most movies slide right through our minds without hitting anything. This one screams and shouts every step of the way.

D

Desson Thomson

RTWashington PostJan 1, 2000

It's hard to sum up Sweetie, which happens to be one of the movie's strengths.

Campion lends a tremendous amount of empathy to both Sweetie and Kay.
