    The New York Times Dana Stevens

    As the movie dragged on, I thought I heard a mysterious voice, and felt myself powerfully drawn toward the light -- the light of the exit sign. I have returned from the beyond to warn you: this movie is 90 minutes long, and life is too short.

    Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

    Appalling, shamelessly manipulative and contrived, and totally lacking in conviction.

    Variety Joe Leydon

    Costner's earnest performance is a major plus for Dragonfly, keeping the picture grounded in some semblance of reality even as it becomes progressively more fantastical.

    Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington

    A sappy, often absurd disappointment, another would-be inspirational romance that, like Costner's overwrought "Message in a Bottle," is impossible to swallow.
