...depict Dixy Lee Ray as a charming, inoffensive goldfinch is singularly inappropriate. A better choice would have been a grizzly bear-and with a sore...
...details from Reilly's life are somewhat glossed over or romanticized in Connery's book. Connery gives an explicitly detailed account of his mother's bizarre lifestyle, but he gives Reilly, in cases, more credit than he actually deserved, by failing to back up illogical claims.

...Debby, Kathleen Quinlan conveys the fear, isolation, anger and occasional joy of the schizophrenic convincingly, but Page's failure to do more than superficially explain why she feels these emotions makes it difficult to empathize with what could have been a superlative job of acting. Page's attempt to depict Debby's fantasy world, to which she retreats from an unpleasant reality, further emphasizes his direction's shallowness. Green described a world complete with a separate language and gods who alternately seduce and torment Debby; but such a world could only be shown on film by a master like Ingmar...
