Review rate : D+

“..unloading a sense of smug superiority while ignoring the issues it purports to address..”
by Sam Adams [AV Club]
“..the last 15 minutes or so of the film feel quite powerful and pack an emotional wallop that's quite rare and unexpected for such a gritty, visually stylish thriller..”
by Avi Offer [NYC Movie Guru]
“..the film is a bit too strident about some of the issues at play..”
by Benjamin Mercer [Village Voice]
2.5 of 5

“..the film feels overstuffed and overcooked, as if the filmmaker were trying to get too much out all in one go..”
by Mark Olsen [Los Angeles Times]
2 of 5

“..the film cuts with such precision that there’s scarcely any room to breathe..”
by Andrew Schenker [Time Out New York]
“..pic also boasts strong performances by well-cast up-and-comers, though its lack of star power, per se, likely will limit theatrical prospects..”
by Joe Leydon [Variety]
3 of 5

“..much of that exposition is awkward or overdetermined..”
by Rachel Saltz [New York Times]
3 of 4

“..a mere introduction to Sociology 101, but it's brisk enough to rustle the reading list and keep the conversation alive..”
by Joe Williams [St. Louis Post-Dispatch]

PENGUINS 3D :

“..with nary an animated tap dance in sight, it's still king of the 3D penguins..”
by Paul Bradshaw [Total Film]

RING OF FIRE :

by Brian Lowry [Variety]

BEFORE MIDNIGHT :

“..Before Midnight is bittersweet, intelligently written, deftly acted and painfully honest..”
by Claudia Puig [USA Today]

FAST AND FURIOUS 6 :

“..so is the film, saturated with more firepower, more havoc, more special effects, more pedal-through-the-metal chase scenes and far more property destruction..”
by David Hiltbrand [Philadelphia Inquirer]

A GREEN STORY :

“.."A Green Story" holds interest as a gentle, old-fashioned look at achieving the American dream..”
by Gary Goldstein [Los Angeles Times]

EPIC :

“..a reasonably entertaining, adeptly crafted kidpic whose biggest crime is its near pathological reliance on overfamiliar tropes and trappings..”
by Andrew Barker [Variety]

BEHIND THE CANDELABRA :

“..a wonderfully entertaining and revealing look at Liberace's final decade..”
by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter]
