The Good Heart Reviews

Movie Reviews

• 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

  by Ian Buckwalter [NPR ]

• The movie begins to wear out its welcome even before a conclusion of breathtaking corniness

  by Kyle Smith [New York Post ]

• The Good Heart's uneasy mix of art-film burnish and sitcom familiarity

  Review rate : C- by Noel Murray [A.V. Club ]

• Odd but endearing

  by Pete Hammond [Boxoffice Magazine ]

• 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 ]

• 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 ]
