Rex Reed in The New York Observer called In Her Shoes "sheer joy" and "a Movie to see," arguing that Shirley MacLaine has "found his best role since the Oscar-winning Terms of Endearment [...] funny and touching, using plenty of humanity and the psychology of intelligence, great advantage, lending his knowledge to other actors generously. [4] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times says that the film begins with the materials of a normal movie and becomes a special place. The final emotional reward is earned, not because we see coming as the inevitable result of the plot, but because comes out of nowhere and yet, once you think about it, it makes perfect sense. It tells us something fundamental and important about a character, you can share this something with which loves and does so in a way that it could not. Like a good poem, we are blind spots making the change right at the end. [5]
Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle argues instead that the film is almost a true statement, almost an honest representation of a sibling relationship and almost not a sentimental Hallmark card of a movie. But committing Himself and ends up in the limbo of meaninglessness, with writer Susannah Grant and director Curtis Hanson Strongly pretending to have the kind of story, when in fact I have told quite another. [6] Carino Chocano of the Los Angeles Times agrees, calling the film "a curious movie, hovering above two hours between the true light and darkness, and raise false threat and mollycoddling." [7]
The film received a 75% rating from Rotten Tomatoes (112 new and 37 rotten reviews).
