Ty Burr Boston Globe 11/05/2004
1/4
Merriman evinces only the soft-focus moodiness of an outdoor-clothing catalog. The supporting cast practically stands on its collective head trying to pick up the slack, but to little use. Go to Full Review Luke Y. Thompson New Times 05/28/2005
Essentially a feature-length infomercial for white-Latino interracial relationships Go to Full Review Jeffrey Overstreet Looking Closer 12/23/2004
B-
A forgettable, mellow drama. [It] flirts with exploring important themes, but ultimately only scratches the surface of a few of them. Go to Full Review Paul Sherman Boston Herald 11/05/2004
2/4
The movie just lays there like a well-intentioned, PG-13 after-school special. Go to Full Review Sean P. Means Salt Lake Tribune 10/15/2004
3/4
Some melodramatic flourishes aside, Spin is a small gem worth uncovering. Go to Full Review Jeff Vice Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 10/15/2004

Frances H 08/23/2013 A film that shows the legacy of the director's father in its themes, cinematography, and mellow feelings. What could be called a coming of age story, but is really more. I liked it. See more 04/06/2011 why they make sad movies !!!!!!!!!!! See more 10/14/2010 Really nice and well done movie. Not fast moving, but really comforting and enjoyable to watch. Stanley Tucci is a very nice addition, also. He doesn't have a huge part, but what he is in is highly enjoyable. See more 08/17/2009 Very good Drama..acting was very good and I didn't even know the actors! See more 01/03/2009 A lovely story , very moving. See more 11/02/2008 Starts out like a typical romance story, but it's much deeper than that. I really liked this film. Wonderful performances by Merriman and Garcés. See more Read all reviews
