Movie Reviews

Baret News - 10/10 by Kam WilliamsA visually-captivating and remarkably-moving recreation of what, to this day, remains the most daring Coast Guard rescue on record.
Charlotte Observer - 10/10 by Lawrence ToppmanFrom the first gentle meeting of its hero and heroine to the last line of dialogue, The Finest Hours executes all the traditional moves beautifully.
Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) - 10/10 by Linda Cook'The Finest Hours' is an apt title for this incredible tale of a daring sea rescue in 1952.
Forbes - 9/10 by Mark Hughes[A] remarkable story of bravery and survival against all odds, with fine visual spectacle and good performances keeping us invested as the disaster spirals further into hopelessness.
AV Club - 9/10 by Jesse HassengerAs charming as the early scenes are, The Finest Hours doesn’t really come together as a love story, either, and Affleck’s scenes on the tanker are too abbreviated to really sink in as great survival drama.
NYC Movie Guru - 9/10 by Avi OfferThrilling, suspenseful and captivating while remaining grounded in humanism. Holliday Grainger gives a truly radiant breakthrough performance. It's the first must-see movie of 2016.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com - 9/10 by Cary DarlingThe Finest Hours... splits in two much like the wounded vessel at its heart. There's the film that's set on the sea and much of that is pretty terrific...And then there's the film set on land, and that one runs aground.
One Guy's Opinion - 9/10 by Frank SwietekSet in 1952, and apart from the CGI it might have been made then, given the surfeit of clichés reflective of pictures from the Eisenhower era... like its nondescript title, it's underwhelming despite the size of those billowing CGI waves.
Christian Science Monitor - 9/10 by Peter RainerIt’s not just the technique of this movie that is resolutely old-fashioned. So are its attitudes. The film may feature practically wall-to-wall monster storms but undergirding it all is a cushion of straight-arrow sentimentalism. It harks back to a rosy neverland when men were men and women stood by them.
The Patriot Ledger - 9/10 by Al AlexanderAt sea it's pretty terrific. But on land, where too much of this seafaring folly transpires, it's dull as dirt.
