Movie Reviews

The Moving Picture Show - 10/10 by Joe LeydonWhile seeming to be about nothing in particular, it gradually builds toward a deeply affecting emotional impact by actually being about everything that's important.
Film Journal International - 10/10 by Bruce FeldBeatty and Schreiber give accomplished performances, but are handicapped by the staginess of the script and the static nature of Gilroy's direction.
Movie Boeuf - 10/10 by David N. ButterworthA remarkable film, totally absorbing from the first frame to the last. It's a marvel of simplicity and depth, comfort and compassion.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Michael AtkinsonThe sense of continuing life is quietly remarkable.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael WilmingtonGreat, restrained performances of Beatty and Schreiber, delicately framed by the filmmaker's taste for visual compositions.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Kevin ThomasSpring Forward is so fully realized and so moving that you wish you could get away with merely saying: "Go see it for yourself."
Washington Post - 9/10 by Desson ThomsonYou realize this is a story about the life beyond this movie, about the great changes in life we never give ourselves time to consider. And for a moviegoing experience, that's a lot of bang for your buck.
ToxicUniverse.com - 8/10 by John A. NesbitWhat a treat to finally see a pudgy character actor and a stereotypically type cast "bad guy" demonstrate their consummate acting skills
Apollo Guide - 8/10 by David NusairA breath of fresh air, and an antidote to all the mindless drivel Hollywood churns out on a regular basis.
TheMovieReport.com - 8/10 by Michael DequinaBeatty and Schreiber generate a convincing camaraderie that is warm and touching yet with a refreshing lack of sticky sentiment.
