80Just the type of small film that, if given a chance to be seen by audiences, could become somewhat of a hit for grownups ala "Sideways" or "The Squid and the Whale."
-
78It's like the Sixties never happened, or maybe happened too much.
-
A slow starter. But what appears to be the cliched "uptight nerd liberated by flighty sprite" tale--done better in films from "Bringing Up Baby" to "Barefoot in the Park"--evolves into something deeper, darker, more resonant.
-
60Its low-key charms are considerable enough to engage venturesome ticketbuyers.
-
50Has an impressive cast and captures some of that era's fuzzy rebelliousness and humanism, but taken on its own the picture is finally thin stuff.
-
Jeremy Strong's minimalist performance in the lead role makes for an unconvincing character arc--he seems almost as ill-at-ease and dispirited by the end of the film as he does at the beginning.
-
50These characters are fully alive. But the movie attaches them to a conventional, not to say creaky, hip-meets-square drama.
-
42Not a moment rings true in this sentimental drama.
-
25The entire script, which boils down to a hopelessly embarrassing lesson about "this beautiful place that can make people live again," seems to have been written within arm's reach of a bong.

PeterR9I've seen the movie twice. With each viewing I find more nuances to think about and enjoy.
