- Self-consciousness infects Nora Ephron's sweet but perilously thin love story, Sleepless in Seattle...such are the perils of these postmodernist times: even our love stories feed off borrowed emotion.
- Mostly, Sleepless in Seattle leaves you feeling restless in the audience.
- If one can ignore all the straining for lightness here, this is watchable enough, though hardly anything resembling a tearjerker.
- Ephron and fellow writers Jeff Arch and David S. Ward have conspired to make Sleepless in Seattle as purposefully schmaltzy as one can imagine, in a manner that's almost cynical.
- It's easily the hippest, frankest and funniest date movie around.
- The schmaltzy soundtrack is overdone, but cameraman Sven Nykvist wraps it all up in an appropriately warm glow.
- Nora Ephron's Sleepless in Seattle is a feather-light romantic comedy about two lovers who meet for the first time in the last reel. It's a stunt, but it's a stunt that works far more effectively than anybody in his right mind has reason to expect.
- We fall -- and I think a lot of people will fall hard for this movie -- even though we know we shouldn't.
- This is a dreamy, romantic fantasy whose mood falls somewhere between magic and reality.
- A quick check of the exiting audience found many smiling -- and still clutching tissues.
- Sleepless in Seattle is as ephemeral as a talk show, as contrived as the late show, and yet so warm and gentle I smiled the whole way through.
- Substantially better, funnier, smarter, and more impeccably-controlled than almost everything that came in its wake.
- While I have returned to watch my favourite moments play out again and again, I am always rewarded by the subtlety and beauty in the scenes I don't remember.
- ...a decent drama that never entirely lives up to its place as a classic romcom...
- A movie to which director and co-writer Nora Ephron brought her terrific flair, wit and nous, although she propagates the terrifying fallacy that a widower makes a wonderful romantic catch.
- Nora Ephron's fictional universe is no less magical than the romance films it references, yet she imbues the film with a self-awareness that remains rewarding in spite of its contradictions.
