Movie Reviews

Boston Globe - 6/10 by Peter KeoughWhen the two veteran actors team up in Vermont writer-director Jay Craven’s wry, uneven Northern Borders, adapted from Howard Frank Mosher’s novel, they mesh so well they almost hold the rest of the movie together. But their nuanced performances underscore the weakness of the rest of the cast, and Craven’s erratic tonal shifts from the whimsical to the sentimental trip up the episodic plot.
Spirituality and Practice - 6/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatThe coming-of-age of a patient and resilient boy during his stay with his eccentric grandparents in Vermont.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Graham FullerThe movie's a charmer with sense of integrity.
The Hollywood Reporter - 5/10 by Frank ScheckIt all adds up to somewhat less than the sum of its parts, but it's made palatable by the well-evoked rural atmosphere and the typically expert performances by the two leads.
The New York Times - 4/10 by Neil GenzlingerMr. Dern is fine in his crotchety-old-man mode, but the rest of the acting is labored, and the story is an unfocused mishmash.
Village Voice - 4/10 by Michael NordineIt's easy to get lost in the natural beauty of Vermont, and Mosher (who worked on the film with several students as part of a Marlboro College program) clearly takes joy in doing so. The liveliest counterpart to that striking landscape isn't Dern, but rather Jessica Hecht as his wayward daughter, who hits all the grace notes the rest of the film tends to miss.
User Review - 10/10 by Patsi HLove Bruce Dern, love the simple life, beautiful story.
User Review - 4/10 by Jonathan ASuch a sad movie... great idea idea, the sadness lies in its execution. This an uncertain director, with a weak script. But, tat's not the saddest part. This cast of (mostly) young actors was ill served. Most of what could have been heartfelt moments, fell short, by about one or two takes. The director didn't ask enough of his charges.
User Review - 1/10 by kirviaThis movie misses a plot. They bring in characters along with an issue and then there is no resolution.
