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."Release
