I wasn't carried away with this Lolita like cautionary tale, but I was impressed enough by its intelligent presentation.

Tries to incorporate almost film-noir elements into a heartland love story. The blending feels inorganic; and composer Bruce Broughton doesn't help matters by coating every moment with a repetitive, syrupy theme.

A very dry and formulaic re-telling of a cautionary tale we know all too well by now.

Carried Away is a brilliant evocation of rural life and repressed lust. One of the ten-best films of 1996.

A chilling, Lolita-like drama that's elevated by a terrific performance by Hopper.

An earnestly well-meaning film whose adult characters have a refreshingly grown-up perspective on their choices in life.

The performances are captivating, so much so that the film's sometimes slow pace is never a real problem.

Director Barreto has a fine eye for composition and a knowing heart for human emotion, keeping things simple and sparse.
