This is not the first time a story like this has been told, but it is being told in Magic Hour with real affection and earnestness. Go to Full Review Matt Zoller Seitz RogerEbert.com 2d
2/4
This is a movie that’s short but still feels padded. Go to Full Review Natalia Winkelman New York Times 3d
A crafty reveal does not a clever film make, and even at a merciful 80 minutes, the device eventually feels more tired than the sullen Erin, who soldiers on through her suffering. Go to Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail 2d
The internal turmoil and external beauty combine to make for a solidly engaging watch. Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 2d
3/5
This is tedious territory, culturally and spiritually. A large swath of viewers will think this film is trite, weak, meandering, or even nutty. The rest may find something special in this worthwhile walkabout of reflection. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 3d
This two-hander features strong performances committed to material that is refreshingly candid, yet feels more slight than profound. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
