2 of 5

“..we're left with another coming-of-age tale of getting to the emotional maturity while not letting go of the quirk..”
by Glenn Kenny [MSN Movies]
“..the film - through the languor of its scenes, the soft-spoken sentimentality of its dialogue - is a passive-aggressive exercise in emotional coercion..”
by A.O. Scott [New York Times]
2.5 of 4

“..the faces of youth with a poet's eye for beauty and pain..”
by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone]
Review rate : C

“..naturally the crazy, pretty, doomed kids fall in love in Restless - this wearying, cottony drama..”
by Lisa Schwarzbaum [Entertainment Weekly]
2.5 of 4

“..instead of exploring sorrow, loss and dying in a thoughtful fashion, this has a Lifetime Channel vibe, with a morose bent and artfully framed shots..”
by Claudia Puig [USA Today]
“..goopy doomed teen romance looks to appeal mostly to impressionable adolescent girls..”
by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter]

THE GREAT GATSBY :

“..a hugely elaborate, well-cast adaptation of an American classic that will provoke every possible reaction..”
by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter]

PEEPLES :

“..Tina Gordon Chism keeps the innocuous class-meets-crass jokes bubbling, and the actors are amiable, but Peeples often seems to want to turn these characters into benignly goofy role models. Maybe that's why the basic comic collision never explodes..”
by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly]
