1.5 of 4

“..This sense of temporal suspension, enhanced by a slight fuzziness to the cinematography, is the fim's most endearing quality..”
by Andrew Schenker [Slant Magazine]
“..The movie's two bright spots are Cox and Dano, who perform excellently despite the dull inevitabilities the script forces on them..”
2 of 4

“..The movie begins to wear out its welcome even before a conclusion of breathtaking corniness..”
by Kyle Smith [New York Post]
Review rate : C-

“..The Good Heart's uneasy mix of art-film burnish and sitcom familiarity..”

3 of 5

“..if you're in the mood for a splash of dark drama, a bit of humor, very dry, on the rocks, with a twist, this will come close to satisfying..”
by Betsy Sharkey [LA Times]
3 of 5

“..admirable..”
by Chris Cabin [Filmcritic.com]
“..a sloppy, desultory, depressive buddy comedy the color of beer-infused pee..”
by Melissa Anderson [Village Voice]
“..a picture too simplistic and sentimental for art seekers and too rough for general auds, leaving it in a commercial no man's land..”
by Todd McCarthy [Variety]
“.."The Good Heart" refers not only to the movie's strained attitude of good will but also to the biological organ, as in heart transplant..”
by Stephen Holden [NY Times]

MIGHTY FINE :

“..the mood is generally melodramatic and ends as mushy..”

by Andrew O'Hehir [Salon.com]

BATTLESHIP :

“..too much uninteresting dialogue about “mysterious” aliens to wade through – plus, oodles of nauseating jingoism and slow-motion heroism..”

by Kevin Jagernauth [The Palylist]

“..though unabashedly melodramatic, "Rust and Bone" resists many of the pretty comforts of the genre..”
