Leave your thoughts about And While We Were Here.
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenBland 30-something Brit falls for idiotic teen in a movie more valuable as a travelogue than a romantic drama. |
| We Got This CoveredIsaac FeldbergAnd While We Were Here has the feel of a sumptuous, wafer-thin dessert lovingly crafted by a master chef, simultaneously exquisite and fully satisfying without ever appearing over-indulgent. |
| Chicago ReaderDrew HuntFor every such moment there's a sappy montage or overt visual reference to Rossellini to cheapen the effect. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanAn intimate study of human unhappiness and the addictive liberation that comes from casting it off. Kate Bosworth displays a level of depth heretofore unseen in her work. |
| AV ClubNick SchagerA committed Bosworth gives herself over to the role. Yet, there’s ultimately no real role for her to play. |
| Los Angeles TimesAnnlee EllingsonIt's to Coiro's credit that no one emerges as a villain — and that, however painful, on the other side lies hope. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn unhappily married American woman's affair in Italy sets her on a new course in her life. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenSubject matter that seemed mildly shocking, even radical, a half-century ago may be impossible to refresh, though the screenplay, by Ms. Coiro, has a firm grasp of its characters. |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonImagine a boring, gender-swapped, totally arty and pretentious version of the travelogue-mini-film-within-a-film focusing on Kip Pardue's character from The Rules of Attraction, except strung out on Benadryl instead of methamphetamine. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierThough the film plays like late-era Woody Allen — not necessarily a good thing — and Goldberg’s rambunctiousness is more annoying than liberating, there’s a serious depth of feeling here. Bosworth, thankfully, is attuned to that, and makes the most of it. |
