REVIEWS RATE: Critics Readers Be the 1st!

“..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]

“..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]

“..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]
