Movie Reviews

Shared Darkness - 9/10 by Brent SimonKristen Stewart is the selling point, of course, but this idyllic road trip through post-Katrina Louisiana is mostly a showcase for William Hurt -- too infrequent a big screen visitor, at least in roles of such layered quietude.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Aaron HillisAll three leads are solidly convincing in their candor. And Oscar-winning cinematographer Chris Menges (The Mission) shoots the hell out of the swampy South to make for a nontoxic diversion.
New York Post - 9/10 by Lou LumenickThe Yellow Handkerchief tells a timeless fable, and tells it extremely well.
Oregonian - 9/10 by Marc MohanUnfortunately, the precision and presence Hurt brings to the table aren't enough to carry this warmed-over Southern melodrama.
Detroit News - 9/10 by Tom LongThis is basically brooding people doing awkward things in a humid environment.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 8/10 by Chris HewittThe story arc of Handkerchief is entirely predictable, and the direction is pedestrian. But its pleasures are to be found in the graceful acting of Hurt and Bello...
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA road movie about three travelers in post-Katrina Louisiana and their quest to avoid a bleak and dark future.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin ThomasCohn has assembled a quartet of gifted actors who are captivating under Prasad's perceptive direction.
Entertainment Spectrum - 8/10 by Keith CohenThis uplifting film is an indie gem with a wonderful payoff that will bring you to tears. The acting is superlative and makes this emotionally moving experience good to the last drop.
Miami Herald - 8/10 by Connie OgleThe only positive thing about the aimless film The Yellow Handkerchief is the idea that William Hurt may be ready for his Jeff Bridges moment.
