(04/14/2000, p.30, Roger Ebert): "...Bullock brings a kind of ground-level vulnerability to 28 DAYS...", (05/01/2000, p.66, Mike Kerrigan): "...This is Bullock's film. It is a gutsy performance and she creates a totally believable character...", (05/19/2000, p.49, Owen Gleiberman): Rating: B, (10/01/2000, pp.87-8, Christopher Kelly): "...A surprisingly touching and tender affair....[A] fine ensemble cast..." -- 3 stars out of 5 -- A Satisfying Rental |
