Heart Beat Ratings & Reviews
Sojourner
Kathy Huffhines
The part gives Spacek little to do and her "acting" is a series of poses in 50's dresses and hairdos.
Boston Globe
Bruce McCabe
Heart Beat, which is supposedly about Jack Kerouac and his friends in the Beat Generation, is Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice without Alice and without humor.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The analysis of the beats comes across as superficial.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The characters are wonderfully well played by Nick Nolte Sissy Spacek and John Heard -- they have scenes together in which the round-robin of everyday dialogue is almost poetic -- but nobody has given their characters anything to do except to be.
