The Yellow Handkerchief Ratings & Reviews
CinemaBlend
Perri Nemiroff
Just as the relationships at the core of this drama, The Yellow Handkerchief is one big compromise. Make do with the lackluster parts and receive something uniquely pleasant.
Detroit News
Tom Long
This is basically brooding people doing awkward things in a humid environment.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
When The Yellow Handkerchief finally hooks into the meat of Hamill's source story, the narrative tension puts enough wind in the film's sails to arrive at its corny but sentimentally satisfying conclusion.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
The unhurried direction of Udayan Prasad and the unafraid choices of the sure-footed cast keep this character-driven drama afloat.
Movie Retriever
Brian Tallerico
Never feels like anything but a movie with its characters who constantly say what they're feeling and doing and it never once feels genuine or organic.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
The Yellow Handkerchief is a love story. Two, really. At its center is the sweetly fractured ticking of a broken heart on the mend.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The Yellow Handkerchief is a surprisingly moving drama -- a throwback to the small, character-driven indies of yesteryear.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Even Stewart, an untutored colt of an actress who can toggle between natural grace and utter haplessness, finds her groove here.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
You don't need an original story for a movie. You need original characters and living dialogue.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Here the fascination is Hurt, so deft at steering his character away from booby-trap clichés that he guides his young costars safely out of sap's way and brightens an otherwise very yellowed tale.
Observer
Rex Reed
With tired eyes, a hesitant stoop and thinning hair, William Hurt makes only occasional appearances in films these days, but he's forgotten nothing about the kind of niche acting that informed his early work and won him a coveted Best Actor Oscar.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
The first half of The Yellow Handkerchief is the half-movie of the year, and the rest isnâ(TM)t bad -- just more sentimental, more ordinary.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Director Udayan Prasad knows how to maximize tight spaces and closed-up characters, but Stewart underwhelms with her churlish pout and Southern twang, while Redmayne is simply annoying.
The Simon
Tim Grierson
Despite all the sad twists and turns in the central love story, the movie's most heartbreaking element is that Hurt and Bello do such good work in a fairly negligible movie.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Erin Dignam's episodic script, brimming with humor and honest emotion -- and the pitch-perfect direction of Udayan Prasad -- thankfully avoids manipulating the audience at every turn.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
William Hurt, who specializes in playing high-strung, upscale neurotics, brings his formidable skills to The Yellow Handkerchief.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
It's nice to see a film unafraid to be quiet and sensitive, but one good gust of coastal breeze would blow this one away.
Village Voice
Aaron Hillis
All three leads are solidly convincing in their candor. And Oscar-winning cinematographer Chris Menges (The Mission) shoots the hell out of the swampy South to make for a nontoxic diversion.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
The film fails to provide Kristen Stewart the courtesy of a role with scene-stealing potential.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
[Arthur] Cohn has assembled a quartet of gifted actors who are captivating under Prasad's perceptive direction.
