Leave your thoughts about Alex of Venice.
| Film School RejectsKate ErblandWinstead can telegraph more with a head tilt or a flicker of her eyes than most of her generation can do with a wild hand toss and a mess of expositional dialogue. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonMary Elizabeth Winstead is eminently relatable in a compassionate, human-scaled movie of the sort that movies have almost forgotten of late. |
| Movie MezzanineCasey CiprianiWhile the script might leave many details behind, the performances slightly make up for the film's ambiguity. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfMessina channels a history of performance into his direction, showing patience with timing and respect for intimate discoveries. It's promising work from the actor, leaving hope that he'll continue his journey behind the camera. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenChris Messina's "Alex of Venice" is as much a love letter to the Los Angeles neighborhood as it is a well-observed drama. |
| Village VoicePete Vonder HaarMessina, making his directorial debut, keeps it simple. Alex undergoes a surprising amount of personal maturation in a week, but Winstead never lets the character bog down in excessive navel-gazing. |
| The Film StageJordan RaupAlex of Venice might not break any new bounds in storytelling but it's a confident exploration of a traumatic life change. |
| The PlaylistRodrigo PerezWell-intentioned and intimate, Alex Of Venice has its heart in the right place; its pains and struggles might be small stakes and personal, but they’re very genuine, relatable and universal. There’s a lot to admire, which is why the movie’s uneven grasp of narrative fundamentals is so frustrating. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoChris Messina's directorial debut is a strong one, mainly because of a beautifully wounded leading performance by Marty Elizabeth Winstead that's full of strength, growth, and heartwarming soul. |
| CinemacyMorgan RojasFlaws aside, Messina should be proud of his debut film. |
