      Kevin Carr 7M Pictures The Letter is not a thriller. It is barely a film. It's a boring, self-important, disjointed and pointless pile of tripe masquerading as a movie. Rated: 0/5 Oct 6, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

      Steve D Ryder gives her all but there is nothing else here. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review Abigail D I was genuinely shocked to see how I was I I I was genuinely shocked to see how unfavorable The ratings were. I thought it was an interesting, clever, very well performed movie. It was not dull or boring. The slow bits just made the mood. Not to mention the acting performances for very effective and natural. I did not feel like I was watching actors it felt like I was watching real people in a real situation. It was so good that I had to pause a couple of times to appreciate it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/22 Full Review indie a Awful movie. Like watching paint dry. Contrived script, trying to be artsy but failing, boring, more pauses than dialogue, everyone speaks in hushed tones. Watch only if you have insomnia; this'll put you to sleep. One good thing: James Franco is incredibly handsome and sexy in this movie, just being himself, besides being a good actor. Cast of good actors, but they didn't have anything to work with. Don't waste your time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I can't believe what I just saw, almost fell asleep at the first half, I guess the acting was ok, but the direction felt extremely amateur. Boring and pretentious. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Oh my what a shoddy presentation it was that bad. If I was Winona Ryder or James Franco I would remove this of my resume immediately it was awful. The only letter worth mentioning regarding this movie is one to the director to never direct ever again! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review don s This is a movie about nothing. A playwright "thinks" someone "may be" causing her to have a mental breakdown. Why? She is unimportant to anyone but her boyfriend, yet she is more interested in another actor she just hired. What would be the purpose? Why make this movie? The ending - where it is explained what happened (if you make it that far), is another head scratcher... again, why? Garbage despite Ryder, Franco and the lovely Waterston. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
