Movie Reviews

Newsday - 7/10 by John AndersonMoody pictures, swollen music and portentous dialogue are all great, but they need to have a narrative propping them up.
Variety - 6/10 by Robert KoehlerExceptionally strong cast is pictures beating heart.
Washington Post - 6/10 by Desson ThomsonThe central story, in which Helms has to make up his mind whether to attend his sister's funeral, is too limited a conflict to hang a movie on. Ultimately, audiences will have to satisfy themselves with the collective presence of these actors and the movie's obviously good-hearted intentions.
New York Daily News - 5/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanWriter-director Jordan Walker-Pearlman can't adequately handle either of his tasks: The script is as sappy as the direction is awkward. Fortunately, he was smart enough to enlist a cast of pros who can ably sidestep the project's many potholes.
TV Guide Magazine - 5/10 by Maitland McDonaghThere are effective scenes and powerful performances scattered among long sequences in which various members of the family gaze into space as they contemplate the burden of the past, walk aimlessly through Atlanta or have odd encounters with strangers.
Film Journal International - 5/10 by Frank LoveceI'm nodding off just thinking about the long, static close-ups and endless scenes of people walking and sitting and doing nothing.
Entertainment Weekly - 5/10 by Scott BrownDeeply odd films are often deeply personal ones, and Constellation, a dazed, inchoate drama about a mixed-race Alabama family, tells a story that's clearly close to the heart of writer-director Jordan Walker-Pearlman.
L.A. Weekly - 5/10 by Scott FoundasOnly Williams makes any real emotional connection: I'm not sure I'd call his performance good, but there's something fascinating about seeing the man once heralded as "the black Clark Gable" three decades removed from heartthrob status, heavy and sullen-looking, weighed down by the burdens of time and age.
Newark Star-Ledger - 4/10 by Stephen WhittyThere are too many characters too sketchily defined, and some of the relationships are pure contrivances.
The New York Times - 4/10 by Matt Zoller SeitzIf earnestness equaled skill, Constellation would be a classic.
