      Frances H 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/13 Full Review Audience Member why they make sad movies !!!!!!!!!!! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member A lovely story , very moving. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Starts out like a typical romance story, but it's much deeper than that. I really liked this film.

      Ty Burr Boston Globe 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. Rated: 1/4 Nov 5, 2004 Full Review Luke Y. Thompson New Times Essentially a feature-length infomercial for white-Latino interracial relationships May 28, 2005 Full Review Jeffrey Overstreet Looking Closer A forgettable, mellow drama. [It] flirts with exploring important themes, but ultimately only scratches the surface of a few of them. Rated: B- Dec 23, 2004 Full Review Paul Sherman Boston Herald The movie just lays there like a well-intentioned, PG-13 after-school special. Rated: 2/4 Nov 5, 2004 Full Review Sean P. Means Salt Lake Tribune Some melodramatic flourishes aside, Spin is a small gem worth uncovering. Rated: 3/4 Oct 15, 2004 Full Review Jeff Vice Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Much of the material here doesn't translate well from book to film. Rated: 2/4 Oct 15, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
