Movie Reviews

Killer Movie Reviews - 10/10 by Andrea Chase[Hedges] plays our emotions like a virtuoso, mixing farce with tragedy with equal assurance and wisely eschewing words when silence can be more effective
FilmStew.com - 10/10 by Todd GilchristPieces Of April is no good and no amount of Sundance catfights for its distribution rights will convince me otherwise
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Carla MeyerAvoids sentimentality at every turn and truly earns both its laughs and its tears.
Kalamazoo Gazette - 10/10 by James SanfordBarely 80 minutes long, this is a movie with the texture of a great short story. ...a comedy -- and a sharp, smart one.
Princeton Town Topics - 10/10 by Kam WilliamsA delightful, charming, instant holiday classic which makes us laugh repeatedly while delivering an emotionally satisfying message about unconditional love.
Jam! Movies - 10/10 by Liz BraunThanks to a brilliant script and spot-on performances, Pieces Of April turns out to be a perfect film about families and what makes them work.
Eclipse Magazine - 9/10 by Sean O'ConnellYou may leave on a high note, but you'll quickly remember how long it took you to reach that pinnacle
Denver Rocky Mountain News - 9/10 by Robert DenersteinA movie that goes a long way toward proving that we all really can get along and that it's possible for a director to put a lump in our throats without making us feel like saps.
The Film Yap - 9/10 by Nick RogersPeter Hedges sustains the idea this family's interactions have begun with bared teeth for years. If they can summon it, one comforting moment will have to do. At best, it's a ramshackle reconciliation of tough-minded emotion and well-earned laughter.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Robin Clifford"Pieces of April" too easily wraps up the lifelong conflict between Joy and April in the end, but there is a good-natured feel that makes it an amiable little holiday film.
