Movie Reviews

Slant Magazine - 6/10 by Elise NakhnikianA self-consciously quirky, slightly otherworldly tale whose eagerness to win audiences over with whimsy only succeeds at keeping us at arm's length.
Epoch Times - 4/10 by Mark JacksonGlaciers didn't go through this area, so there's no drift (silt, clay, sand, gravel, and boulders). So the area is therefore driftless. That's very interesting. To geologists.
User Review - 10/10 by Gareth OExcellent pace, unusual movie about fate, the future and that our lives are intertwined I enjoyed it....
User Review - 10/10 by Sam GGreat cast, I mean wow! The world that these filmmakers create is rich and immersive. I could practically smell the green grass. Subtly thought provoking. Still thinking about it days after. Gives Zoey great room to stretch her talents beyond her usual "cute girl" roles.
User Review - 8/10 by Carmen PSaw this movie at Tribeca last year. It's very different from the book, but the casting and photography are both outstanding. The story might be a bit confusing, with a leading character that seems as lost as spectators might find themselves at some points throughout the movie. Specially outstanding is Deschanel, probably the most mysterious character in the movie, who gives a great delivery that has nothing to do with bubbly, happy Jessica Day. She's dark, she's ethereally beautiful- and she is intriguing from the beginning. Plaza also gives a delivery far from her Parks and Recreation days, and keep an eye out for Langella. Best part of the movie is its cast, with solid performances from everyone.
User Review - 6/10 by Des SThis movie sounded interesting, but after watching it I'm left feeling pretty confused about the whole thing.
User Review - 6/10 by Carlos IInteresting and whimsical crime/love/revenge story. It's not sure exactly what it's going for, as a result, what could be an amazing indie film is a bit wishy washy.
User Review - 6/10 by Kyle MOne of those cases that the title really says it all by how it was monotonously balanced, enforcing the utter conceptual mystery of the occurring events as the only of the two interest points next to being picked up by the climax. (B- ) (Full review TBD)
User Review - 4/10 by Jennifer RBeautiful scenery, but confusing, meandering plot never really grabs you. Really not a good film, despite the cinematography.
User Review - 4/10 by Marta RThe idea was interesting, but the movie went south...
