ReviewsNew York Magazine - David has honed this script for 30 years, and every word he utters is momentous. HANDSOME HARRY transcends its somewhat melodramatic narrative., Los Angeles Times - Gordon's way with actors and with screen storytelling is as impeccable as ever., Film Journal International - Bette Gordon's film is that rarity these days, an American film which deals with mature characters facing life and the choices they've made, possessed of uncommon intelligence and subtlety.
