Title The Heartbreak Kid
Author(s)Pat Gillespie
Publication Date 01-08-1993
Page Number 43-44
Comments Old issues of Cinema Papers available at the Australian Film Institute and State and Regional Libraries.

Synopsis Lengthy review about the film "The Heartbreak Kid," its narrative, themes and camera techniques.

Gillespie comments on the reasons why student is attracted to teacher in the first place and vice versa; mother roles; and even makes an interesting observation of what the masks mean in the scene where Nick and Christina have their first sexual encounter.

A favourable review, overall.
