- Critics' reviews
-
-
"More epic than it needs to be and less profound than it should be, 'Jolene' remains a watchable excursion into human frailty and foibles"
-
"The tone veers wildly, from wacky indie to melodramatic soap opera. Like the other men in her life, Ireland adores Jolene without entirely understanding her"
-
"You go away exhilarated. The movie has been through as many hurdles getting here as dear, sweet Jolene, but sometimes the most engaging movies are the ones worth waiting for."
-
"Though stretched to a two-hour run time, Doctorow's socially critical tale is reduced to queasy spectacle"
