==Reception==
===Critical response===
The film received mixed reviews. On [[Rotten Tomatoes]], the film has an approval rating of
[[Roger Ebert]] wrote, "Nicholson and Streep play drunks in ''Ironweed'', and actors are said to like to play drunks, because it gives them an excuse for overacting. But there is not much visible 'acting' in this movie; the actors are too good for that." Ebert gave the film three stars out of four.<ref>
Streep received raves from most critics
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat appreciated the film's spiritual message, writing, "Mixing realistic and surreal scenes, [[Argentinean]] director Héctor Babenco puts the accent on what he calls the spiritual dimensions of William Kennedy's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel... If you ride with the emotional undertow of ''Ironweed'', there's no way you'll ever look at street people in quite the same way".<ref>[http://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/films/films.php?id=6324 Brussat, Frederic and Mary Ann] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120313225422/http://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/films/films.php?id=6324 |date=2012-03-13 }}.
