2003: American Film Institute (AFI): Top 10 - Movies of the Year
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The film's two big flaws are readily apparent: a clunky screenplay and the miscasting of the lead character."
-
"Though 'Human Stain' is sometimes too chaotic and sometimes too neat, it boasts some of the best acting of the year"
-
"The thriller aspects of the story and the overall solid level of acting -- including a sexy performance from a red-hot Nicole Kidman -- keep the audience interested but never fully emotionally involved."
-
"'The Human Stain' isn't a movie of ideas, and it's too inert to be a probing character study. No stain is left behind, just a wan watermark."
