“..why does Love Ranch feel like a clumsy TV movie?..”
by Nathan Rabin [A.V. Club]
1 of 4

“..What happens when the worst tendencies of a poor screenplay are exaggerated by labored and unimaginative direction?..”
by Andrew Schenker [Slant Magazine]
“..often more execrable..”
by Melissa Anderson [Village Voice]
“..it's an insipid, tacky film about tacky whores and crooks..”
by Chris Barsanti [Film Journal International]
“..it's almost sort of watchable, albeit in a train-wreck-no-survivors kind of way..”
by Mick LaSalle [San Francisco Chronicle]
“..If any film about prostitution can be called anti-erotic, then "Ranch" surely is it..”

“..feels like a television movie with a fouler mouth..”
by Dustin Putman [DustinPutman.com]
2 of 5

“..an off-key biopic that doesn't know where to begin or end..”
by Cole Smithey [ColeSmithey.com]
“..a tawdry look at the early days of Nevada's legalized brothel business that plays more like Lifetime fodder than the Martin Scorsese pics that serve as its model..”
by Peter Debruge [Variety]
“.."Love Ranch" gives you only a superficial, cliched picture of brothel life...”
by Stephen Holden [NY Times]

THE INTOUCHABLES :

“..it's hard to muster much enthusiasm for a movie that leans so heavily on regressive culture-clash shtick and unimaginative stereotypes..”
by Jon Frosch [The Atlantic]

CHERNOBYL DIARIES :

“..the acting is what you’d expect-on the level of what you’ll find in any crummy horror movie shown on the SyFy network..”
by Frank Swietek [One Guy's Opinion]

MEN IN BLACK 3 :

MIGHTY FINE :

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

MOONRISE KINGDOM :

“..this meticulous and convincing detail does not add up to realism but - depending on your perspective - to something either much less or much more than that..”
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 Adam Litovitz [Globe and Mail]

HYSTERIA :

“..for all of its sexual posturing and potential to be truly saucy and unconventional, Tanya Wexler's "Hysteria" is inoffensively pleasant..”
by Kevin Jagernauth [The Palylist]

RUST & BONE :

“..though unabashedly melodramatic, "Rust and Bone" resists many of the pretty comforts of the genre..”
by Peter Debruge [Variety]
