Housekeeping is a stranger, sparser, sadder film than it first appears. Forsyth, the Glaswegian film-maker known for Gregory's Girl (1981) and Local Hero (1983), channels the spirit of Robinson's distinctive prose.

RTChicago ReaderAug 7, 2015

The most impressive thing about this haunting fable is Forsyth's fluidity and grace as a storyteller.

R

Roger Ebert

RTChicago Sun-TimesJan 1, 2000

One of the strangest and best films of the year.

With extraordinary grace, the film wanders between sadness, delight and repose, evoking a full range of emotion about living life on the edge.
