- Critics' reviews
-
-
"'Atlantic City' is a sophisticated fairy tale, beautifully acted and beautiful to behold; it is as funny as it is touching."
-
"A well observed and deeply tender tale."
-
"Eclectic, pacy and hard to categorise, it's part crime thriller, part love story, part fairytale, and part a gentle, generous examination of certain dying aspects of American culture."
