Reception
Critical response
Film critic Michael Wilmington of the Los Angeles Times wrote in his review: "Nobody's Fool doesn't really jell, but it's still a sometimes rhapsodically goofy experience. If Arquette doesn't really hold the center together, she at least flies off ravishingly at the edges. The movie is a fond valentine to the special salvations of theater. It's an ode to a squeezed heartland, small-town desperation and sheer, stunning blind love."[3]
