New Times (L.A.) by Bill Gallo

This nicely acted study of a love that survived all manner of trauma is a must-see for Joyce fans, feminist historians great and small and admirers of the Emerald Isle.

Mr. Showbiz by Kevin Maynard

Like "Pollock," Nora is a convincing portrait of the intersection between creative genius and crazy, all-consuming love.

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas

The filmmakers' special triumph lies in the inspired way that in the nick of time it draws its story to a close, with Nora and Joyce struggling toward a new level of understanding.
