For those with an aversion to such sentimentality, especially when associated with the spirit world, Vanessa Redgrave is still reason enough to see A Rumor of Angels.

This cloying, voices-from-the-other-side story is hell.

The film's darker moments become smoothed over by an overwhelming need to tender inspirational tidings, especially in the last few cloying moments.

Top CriticThere are times when A Rumor of Angels plays like an extended episode of Touched by an Angel -- a little too much dancing, a few too many weeping scenes -- but I liked its heart and its spirit.
02/04/02
Top CriticGiven the fact that virtually no one is bound to show up at theatres for it, the project should have been made for the tube.
02/03/02
Long on twinkly-eyed close-ups and short on shame.
02/01/02
The actors are fantastic. They are what makes it worth the trip to the theatre.
02/01/02
The actors don't inhabit their roles -- they're trapped by them, forced to change behavior in bizarre unjustified fashion and spout dialog that consists mostly of platitudes.
02/01/02
A spiritual exploration of sorts, offering a message of hope that resonates.
02/01/02
Top CriticThe screenplay by James Eric, James Horton and director Peter O'Fallon ... is so pat it makes your teeth hurt.
02/01/02
Top CriticThe problem with movies about angels is they have a tendency to slip into hokum. A Rumor of Angels doesn't just slip -- it avalanches into forced fuzziness.
