Movie Reviews

NYC Movie Guru - 9/10 by Avi OfferA poignant, honest and voyeuristic quest filled with insight and humor.
The New York Times - 9/10 by A.O. ScottYou are not Doug Block, of course. Except to the extent - measured by the depth of your absorption in this remarkable film - that you are.
New York Daily News - 8/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanThe small moments loom large in this moving, bittersweet and often funny documentary.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatStands out as one of the best documentaries ever made about the important transition of leaving home, a tricky and complicated stretch of time for parents and their offspring.
Salon.com - 8/10 by Andrew O'HehirHis final scenes with Lucy and with his own dad are both surprising and shattering, and I was left humbled by the film's honesty.
Boxoffice Magazine - 8/10 by John P. McCarthyThe absorbingly bittersweet result ranks as one of the best non-fiction films of the year.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Eric HynesSeemingly modest but stealthily ambitious, Block's feature-length home movies have a way of spiraling outward just as he's drilling inward, of becoming profoundly universal when most nakedly personal. And despite their candor, the Blocks are less exhibitionistic than welcoming. They make for very dear company.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Sheri LindenBlock wears his neuroses so guilelessly on his sleeve and organizes his material with such skill, that what might have been insufferable navel-gazing attains poignancy.
Time Out - 6/10 by Aaron HillisThe second in a proposed self-reflective doc trilogy, director Doug Block's embarrassingly honest follow-up to "51 Birch Street" (2005) is a neurotic, occasionally poignant rumination on his teenage daughter doing just what the title says.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 6/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)Assembled with clarity and taste, "The Kids Grow Up" is a beautiful film in which every single minute feels alive and true.
