Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertOne of the most enchanting movies of the year.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 10/10 by Harper BarnesSome of the best movies are like this: They show everyday life, carefully observed, and as we grow to know the people in the film, maybe we find out something about ourselves. The fact that Hallstrom is able to combine these qualities with comedy, romance and even melodrama make the movie very rare.
Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Gene SiskelOne of the most original, appealing offbeat American films in recent years.
Apollo Guide - 9/10 by Brian WebsterAs a formula movie, it is a failure. As an interesting and likeable piece of offbeat filmmaking, it's a very pleasant -- if modest -- success.
Orlando Sentinel - 9/10 by Jay BoyarDepp puts in a reliable performance as the put-upon son who finds solace in the company of waitress, Juliette Lewis. All three deliver memorable performances along with a strong supporting cast.
Filmcritic.com - 9/10 by Christopher NullA fantastic look at the anachronisms of small-town life and the myriad problems of coping with a go-nowhere existence.
Birth.Movies.Death. - 9/10 by Marisa MirabalThe realistic depiction of marginalized characters overcoming grief and accepting disabilities is what makes this film timeless.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 9/10 by Chris HicksThere is a warmth and wit and insightfulness here that brings the film significantly up a few notches from the usual fare on this subject, and the performances are all excellent.
Movieline - 9/10 by Michael AtkinsonThe Grapes are as authentic, and as flat-out weird, as any real family I know.
Tampa Bay Times - 9/10 by Steve PersallDepp is subtly winning as a man-child oblivious to his own pent-up rage. But the performance that will take your breath away is DiCaprio's. A lot of actors have taken flashy stabs at playing retarded characters and no one, old or young, has ever done it better. He's exasperatingly, heartbreakingly real. This 19-year-old, who shone earlier this year in "This Boy's Life," seems to have a bottomless talent.
