Critic Reviews for Mr. North
All Critics (8) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (4)
It's as if the qualities that, at his best, made Huston great had been magically bequeathed to all his heirs.
January 16, 2020 | Full Review…
The premise is sweet and innocent and the production is handsome, but the film moves slowly and doesn't really hold our attention.
January 1, 2000 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…
Encourages us to turn our attentions to the art of healing, the choices involved in personal ethics, and the little virtues of life.
