Leave your thoughts about When the Sea Rises.
| NewsdayJan StuartSmartly weaves Moreau's lyrically slapstick solo show Dirty Business into this shaggy dog romance, making a heartfelt contrast between the thrilling spontaneity of theater and the fizzy unpredictability of life. |
| Film-Forward.comKent TurnerThe film's intimacy is not unlike the similarly wistful romance on the road Lost in Translation or the fanciful My Summer of Love. |
| New York ObserverAndrew SarrisWhen the Sea Rises remains a strangely sad love story of rare poetic power. |
| Reel.comGary GoldsteinIt's a distinct and bittersweet story about how romance, however fleeting, can pop up in the most unexpected places. |
| About.comMarcy DermanskyAn unlikely romance, one that is impossible not to root for, despite the suggestion of menace that always remains close to the surface. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenAnd as you watch her (Moreau) sink into this semiautobiographical role (she was herself a touring performer in the 1980's), the character emerges as a deep, multilayered woman: kind, gentle and happily partaking of life's simple pleasures much of the time, but when necessary, as tough as her stage character through whom she relishes expressing her residual anger at life's hardships and disappointments. |
| Slant MagazineNick SchagerA quirky ode to transient romance and a showbizer's life on the road. |
| All Movie GuideJosh RalskeIt's lightweight and rather forgettable but laudable for its honest, respectful treatment of its characters. |
| User ReviewWS WEso si es verdadero cinearte... Excentrica y bellisima |
| User ReviewOwe C"I'm torn between a sugar waffle and a romance." "Take the waffle!" |
