Washington Post | Hal HinsonAdd Critic to Favorites
From the performances by Rea, Davidson and Whitaker, to Jordan's endlessly original script, to Anne Dudley's melancholy score, and Lyle Lovett's closing rendition of "Stand by Your Man," The Crying Game enthralls and amazes us. It deserves to be called great.Read the full review
Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

Rolling Stone | Peter TraversAdd Critic to Favorites
Rea and Davidson are incomparably good in an exceptional film that is by turns darkly funny and deeply affecting. Though Jordan's control sometimes falters, it's a small price to pay for his daring.Read the full review
