Leave your thoughts about 33 Postcards.
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonGreat Aussie crime thriller droops at the end but pulls through thanks to Guy Pearce. |
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloThis sort of global co-production is becoming more and more common, but it’s rarely quite so calculated; you can practically see the scale being used to ensure that each location receives equal narrative weight, as characters take actions that make sense only according to that metric. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatTouching story about how the spiritual practice of enthusiasm works wonders in the life of a man in prison. |
| New York TimesNeil GenzlingerIt's all in the name of heartstring tugging, and the film, directed by Pauline Chan ("Little White Lies"), does that pretty well. |
| Village VoiceInkoo KangThe script's programmatic feel-goodery smooths out everything strange and noteworthy about Dean and Mei Mei's relationship into an unmemorable and unconvincing blandness. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedThe dependable Australian actor Guy Pearce is always welcome, even in a well-meaning dud like 33 Postcards. |
| New York PostFarran Smith NehmeThe main problem is the criminal subplot, full of Aussie villains snarling “mate” at one another and landing bloodless punches on Dean. 33 Postcards is what happens when someone grafts a prison angle onto “Pollyanna” — the tough guys just get in the way. |
| Cinema SignalsJules BrennerSweet to the point of getting a sugar rush. Underwritten and under-directed in style and realization, it has all the substance of a confection. |
| OregonianJamie S. RichThe film has a few good story turns up its sleeve, but prepare yourself for heavy melodrama in the third act. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohThe "oh-so-innocent waif and big old baddie" odd-couple formula dates back to D.W. Griffith, but this muddled effort does nothing to merit its questionable revival. |
