Leave your thoughts about The Thorn in the Heart.
| Filmcritic.comChris CabinThe film's opening -- a family dinner where favorite dishes are discussed -- suggests a liveliness that the film never fully realizes |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyAnyone can make a crappy home movie, but it takes an especially self-important one to think anyone other than their own family wants to watch it. |
| Seanax.comSean Axmaker(Gondry's) playfulness keeps the film buoyant even as it delves into the thickets of emotional complications of family lives. |
| Empire MagazinePhilip WildingA touching insight into a family's inner workings. |
| Time OutDavid JenkinsIts rambling structure, peppered with lyrical, magical-realist asides, may not be to all tastes, but there's a sense that Gondry wants this to be more than an eccentric personal portrait... |
| Boxoffice MagazinePam GradyThe movie rarely flags, but it is hard to get past the notion that what is onscreen is nothing more than an artfully made home movie and that the Gondry family saga is no more interesting than that of the average loving, if somewhat dysfunctional family. |
| Village VoiceKarina LongworthIt's a shock, then, that The Thorn in the Heart, Gondry's documentary about his own family, is so unimaginative and inaccessible. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayIf he’d pulled back more, Gondry might’ve seen the real story here: how maternal figures often look better to people who don’t actually have them for a mother. |
| New York TimesMike HaleYou might think that the small-scale, straightforward style and intimate connections of The Thorn in the Heart would result in something more emotionally resonant than we’re accustomed to from Mr. Gondry, but you’d be disappointed. |
| About.comJennifer MerinLike a guest invited to a family reunion, you feel a bit uncomfortable, question why you're there and wonder how long the event will last. |
