It was a critical success but only developed a decent following in home video. I've had the Laser for years.
Whether or not one end's up liking the film, it is beautifully directed and acted. As for me, I love it. It makes no attempt to be a great film; just an accurate retelling of Joyce's short story (often called the greatest English short story ever written). And in that it sets for itself an impossible task. No matter. It is exqusitely beautiful and painful.
There are some interesting reviews on the imdb, link below.

  I have been waiting seemingly forever for the DVD. I have this on leaserdisc and the aspect ratio is incorrect. I watch this every year at Epiphany. It is more enjoyable each time.

        it lay there on the ground, and the fire is burning, and guests pours in...Images full of love, the old sisters, the opera singer, and the end of all of it, the cold hotel, and her love for ever gone in the last outbusrt. And the husband so sorely alone, now. And....

        I can hear the closing music now. "The Dead" (story and film) is an epiphany, as are many of the stories in "Dubliners".
