Owen Gleiberman · Entertainment Weekly 67.00/100.00

Sometimes clever and enjoyable, even touching, yet too often the film makes you feel as if you're in Sunday school.

七月获稻 5.00/5.00

第一次看的时候是几年前,那时候年轻,看不懂这么深刻的电影,今天又重温了一遍,看懂了才发觉这部电影这么有意思。原来死神拥有人的七情六欲之后,也会充满贪婪,贪婪的想把爱的人占为己有带走他,最后明白了爱选择放手,并让咖啡店的男人回来陪伴她以后的日子。我想最后苏珊是爱上了死神的,当她明白最后回来的是咖啡店男人,那充满失望的眼神,死神和苏珊终究会见面,当苏珊“人生了无遗憾”的时候,那可能是他们重逢之时

Rick Groen · The Globe and Mail (Toronto) 63.00/100.00

Ultimately, the movie is a perfect mirror of its star -- looks great, seems empty.
