Andy Webster New York Times There are no easy payoffs in "Stuck Between Stations," but the chemistry of its stars is reward enough. Rated: 3/5 Nov 3, 2011 Full Review Nick Pinkerton Village Voice There's an overapplication of split-screen and woozy soundtrack cues to this end, but Lister Jones and Rosen do an appealing back-and-forth with lively dialogue, not dulled in the interest of realism. Nov 1, 2011 Full Review John Anderson Variety Real people may not be this glib and witty, but Rosen and Lister-Jones sell us on Casper and Becky nonetheless. Apr 29, 2011 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews The end result is a well-intentioned yet terminally underwhelming indie that maintains a nigh passable feel virtually from start to finish... Rated: 2/4 Jul 21, 2012 Full Review Chris Hewitt St. Paul Pioneer Press The movie has a meandery structure and the gimmicky split-screen technique used to distract us from the familiar goings-on doesn't get the job done. Rated: 2/4 Dec 15, 2011 Full Review Fred Topel Screen Junkies Stuck Between Stations moved well enough that I wanted to stay with it. It definitely gets to a point where it says something unique.

Audience Member Chemistry was good but it was a little slow. Also I felt like some of the intimate stories they told were so out of the blue they felt like lies and made me laugh. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Very sweet and tasty flic about things big and small: reconnecting with high school peeps, how humans cope with the horrors of life differently; loss at several levels; love. Not a bad menu and all courses prepared in a simple, economical style without special sauces. None are required. The true flavor is all that's needed. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Stuck Between Stations [2011] This is the type of film I hate for loving. 8/10 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a very sweet movie with a couple of very quirky characters. The ending was wonderful and made up for the slow buildup of the story. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie! Even though the ending leaves you hanging =( Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review walter m Trapped in an awful predicament involving her professor, her professor's wife and her computer, Rebecca(Zoe Lister-Jones) sees no other options aside from bar hopping and getting drunk. At one bar, she is recognized by Casper(Sam Rosen, who also co-wrote), a high school classmate she barely remembers and home from Afghanistan. When her friend Brent(Brent Doyle) lifts her on his shoulder during a game of pool, Casper rushes to her aid. It should not surprise anybody that the whole rescuing the damsel in distress thing does not work out as planned when he forgets the first rule of basic training - never pick on a marine. Still, at least he and Rebecca get a chance to know each other when she picks him as the more emotionally mature option, but this is not a date and there will be no kissing. The one thing filmmakers occasionally forget is that it takes very little to create a film when your heart is in the right place.(*cough* Tarantino *cough*) And that's especially true with the beguiling "Stuck between Stations" whose amiable conversations make the best use of Zoe Lister-Jones' off-kilter delivery. That's not to say this story is not cinematic as the movie contains some lovely shots like Casper framed against the Minneapolis skyline, the cyclists and the circus.(I'll bet you never thought Minneapolis could be so interesting, did you?) On the other hand, there is the split screen which is only really necessary during the movie's sole scene of suspense, amplifying the ambient tension. Otherwise, the movie did not have to literally spell out the cause of Rebecca's self-destruction, as a lot of people peak in high school, as somebody once keenly observed. Plus, hatred of Army officers and soldiers on the homefront is a myth, except for William Westmoreland who kinda had it coming. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
