Where Do We Go Now? Reviews

Movie Reviews

• too many times the performers - male and female - are at the point of hysterics in the most nails-on-a-chalkboard way

  by Mark Olsen [Los Angeles Times ]

• the plot of Where Do We Go Now? springs from a gender divide

  by Maria Garcia [Film Journal International ]

• the picture is dotted with whimsical comedic touches and even includes a smattering of spontaneousUmbrellas of Cherbourg-style musical numbers

  by Stephanie Zacharek [Movieline ]

• the number, which seems like an outtake from another movie, is a playful diversion in a series of skits

  by Stephen Holden [New York Times ]

• the movie gets mired in these deceptive mechanics. It shows no curiosity about the hatred, so the characters seem less than whole

  Review rate : C+ by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly ]

• the filmmaker's grasp on this inherently uneasy material is much less confident

  by Keith Uhlich [Time Out New York ]

• the female empowerment message here is fairly soft

  by Mary F. Pols [TIME Magazine ]

• suffers from a serious clash of styles, but it's also brave and startlingly funny-at one point verging on "Mamma Mia!"-when it isn't bleak or shocking

  by Joe Morgenstern [Wall Street Journal ]

• in turning such a vast conflict into a comedic romp, Where Do We Go Now? sometimes feels like it's cheating or cheapening its subject matter

  Review rate : A- by Tasha Robinson [AV Club ]

• feels like it has been dosed with sugar to mask its distressingly bitter taste

  by Alison Willmore [Village Voice ]

• awkwardly hybridizing somber politicized drama with regional humor

  by Nick Schager [Slant Magazine ]

• all it offers is a picturesque location, likable characters and the best of intentions

  by Mark Jenkins [NPR ]
