Disappearances Ratings & Reviews
Bay Area Reporter
David Lamble
Disappearances delightfully fudges the line between an old-fashioned boy's adventure tale and a distinctly adult postmodern Western.
eFilmCritic.com
Brian Orndorf
There's a special Boy Scout charm to it all that I was enchanted with.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
The movie has a literary quality, and not just because everyone's always quoting Shakespeare.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
Labored, a bit of backwoods magical realism that wants to soar but never takes off.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Magic realism is a tricky thing to pull off in a movie, and Disappearances, the third of Mr. Craven's films based on Mr. Mosher's novels, only occasionally succeeds.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Craven never quite manages to make it all seem a smoothly integrated piece.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
The beautifully photographed Disappearances is solidly old-fashioned entertainment.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
The film is lovely to look at, but makes not a lick of sense.
Newsday
John Anderson
If you're one of those people (like this reviewer) who can watch Kris Kristofferson do just about anything, you won't insist on the references being that solid.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Craven layers the film's central narrative concerns with mounds of metaphorical gunk, most of which proves more ponderous than entrancing.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
Though set in Vermont in the 1930s, this has the feel of a Western -- one with mystical overtones -- and provides a great role for Kris Kristofferson, who's looking well weathered these days.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Jay Craven's stilted adaptation of a novel by Howard Frank Mosher lacks the urgency, the poetry, or the feeling for period that might have brought the material to life, while the cast seems to be largely squandered.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Stamets
This scenic adventure is too fussy with metaphysical lore.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Shot for only $1.7 million, but it's a thoroughly entertaining, first-class job in every way.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The story might sound fine on paper, but it didn't quite work out that well when filmed.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
An utterly earnest, likable enough family-focused action-adventure.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
A frontier spirit and a strong connection to the landscape inform the piece, which aims not to wow but to immerse the viewer in a mystical, hardscrabble, bygone world.
Variety
Justin Chang
A stirringly acted frontier tale, infused with bewildering magical-realist touches that may prove trying to viewers less attuned to its visual pleasures.
