What are critics saying?

90

Salon by Charles Taylor

One of the best American movies of the year and one of the lushest movies in recent memory.

50

The New York Times by Julie Salamon

Everyone on screen is relentlessly gloomy, as if parched for a drop of wit, which isn't forthcoming.

Variety by Todd McCarthy

Paul Schrader hits a low water mark with Forever Mine, a strenuously straight-faced film noir wanna-be that edges perilously close to self-parody.

30

New York Magazine (Vulture) by John Leonard

A noir written and directed by Paul Schrader that's so listless and numbing we need not wonder why it went directly to cable.

25

TV Guide Magazine

Campy hogwash.

25

The A.V. Club by Nathan Rabin

Forever Mine explores many of Schrader's pet themes—obsession, revenge, jealousy, betrayal, guilt—but they've seldom felt as empty, shallow, or ridiculous.
