Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
'About Alex' is the story of seven college friends who reunite over a three-day weekend, after one of them attempts suicide. When the friends get together to keep an eye on Alex, the weekend that ensues will renew old crushes and resentments, shine light on bad decisions, and ultimately push friendships and relationships to the brink as the group tries to speculate when the simple life of their college years turned so muddy and complex. Sometimes irreverent, sometimes poetic, and always moving, About Alex is a searingly honest look at the changing nature of adult friendship in the Facebook/Twitter generation.
Leave your thoughts about About Alex.
| Movie MezzanineDaniel CarlsonAbout Alex is familiar inside and out, but that doesn't make it any less true. Just the opposite. |
| AwardsCircuit.comClayton DavisAbout Alex is a raw and beautiful morality piece about where the late twenty-somethings are presently. I loved nearly every second. |
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloAbout Alex benefits from a uniformly strong cast that does its best to find moments of truth in the banal, derivative scenario they’ve been handed. |
| Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.comCary DarlingTaste, talent and lineage only go so far when nearly every line feels like it's from a script, not life. There's not a single surprise in this 96 minutes of millennial moaning. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkPerhaps we can view this in 30 years as a lightweight text mirroring some of Occupy Wall Street, and perhaps the rise of Elizabeth Warren, although I'm quite sure it will be forgotten about well before then. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedThe intelligence and unhackneyed humor of the believable, unself-conscious screenplay by fledgling director Mr. Zwick (son of veteran director Edward Zwick) deserves special praise. It never hits a false note. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanA film with something of value to say about the nature and importance of friendships. It's funny and honest. |
| We Got This CoveredIsaac FeldbergIt's extremely easy to forgive an imperfect movie for its flaws when, like About Alex, it showcases a big, beating heart that is clearly in the right place. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfDelivers a few surprisingly competent performances and a dollop of honesty as it plays a convincing game of grand theft movie. |
| Contactmusic.comRich ClineA riff on the 1983 classic The Big Chill, this ensemble drama's reunion of old friends differs because Alex's suicide fails this time. |
