Movie Reviews

Baltimore Sun - 10/10 by Chris KaltenbachWell-acted, lovingly put together and heartbreakingly honest.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Carla MeyerIt's the kind of small but amazing character study (think ``Marty'') that film lovers yearn for while griping that this type of picture no longer gets made. Turns out it does.
Film.com - 9/10 by Ernest HardyAn unassuming little film that packs a huge emotional and artistic punch.
Slate - 9/10 by David EdelsteinBeat by beat, scene by scene, gorgeous...at times emotionally devastating.
Village Voice - 9/10 by J. HobermanA fairy tale that presents love as a case of mutual enchantment, Two Family House is not only uniformly well acted, superbly designed, lovingly lit, and sensitively scored, it's as romantic as it is funny.
Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Kimberley JonesIt's all about the little things, and the way in which the little things can steal into your heart in big ways.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumThe charm and art of De Felitta's gentle domestic sketch expand far beyond biographical borders.
Nick's Flick Picks - 9/10 by Nick DavisUnfortunately, the look, pace, and structure of the film stop feeling elegantly restrained and pass into something like boilerplate mediocrity.
Rolling Stone - 8/10 by Peter TraversThe epitome of the small, character-driven film that the indie movement was supposed to champion before it became a hip mirror of the Hollywood star system.
Variety - 8/10 by Joe LeydonFor all the pic’s sentimentality, De Felitta refuses to back away from some unpleasantly realistic touches.
