It is intended for an audience that is willing to take a journey without knowing the destination. Read full review

With its small cast and focus on performance, Union Square promises to be a welcome showcase for Sorvino, and the early rhymes with Miss Linda are intriguingly open-ended. Read full review

There isn't much to Union Square, but the movie does understand how people want to love their families on their own terms, forgetting that their families may be the only ones who really know who they are. Read full review

Despite its problems, there's a touching sweetness at the heart of Nancy Savoca's intimate family drama about estranged sisters trying to reconnect. Read full review

Sorvino brings a spark, but neither she nor Patti LuPone, in an amusing cameo, can overcome the clockwork-like plod to the end. Read full review

The actors are so good, though, that they make you want to see what they could do in a better movie than this tedious acting-class experiment. Read full review

Sorvino's Bronx bawler veers from mascara-streaked monster to outer-borough sage as each scene requires, while Savoca's agitated camera strains for handheld immediacy but ends up just looking amateurish and ugly. Read full review

Terrific. Funny/sad, excellent film making. . . Nancy Savoca (TRUE LOVE, HOUSEHOLD SAINTS, DOGFIGHT) blends her writing and directing skills with the stellar acting talent of Oscar-Winner Mira Sorvino, Emmy-Winner Tammy Blanchard, Michael Doyle and THE SOPRANOS' Michael Rispoli and PattiTerrific. Funny/sad, excellent film making. . . Nancy Savoca (TRUE LOVE, HOUSEHOLD SAINTS, DOGFIGHT) blends her writing and directing skills with the stellar acting talent of Oscar-Winner Mira Sorvino, Emmy-Winner Tammy Blanchard, Michael Doyle and THE SOPRANOS' Michael Rispoli and Patti LuPone (three-time Tony Award winner) in this intimate movie. Two seemingly opposite sisters try to find some common ground amidst family pain that has scarred them both. This is a film of "big moments" in which you can feel the passion, love and pain of the well-drawn characters. A joy to watch.… Expand
