This one rewards the viewer with a typically fine performance by Rebecca Hall and a revelatory one by Jason Sudeikis, whom we usually associate with comedy. Go to Full Review

First-time director Sean Mewshaw and screenwriter Desi Van Til - they're married - have decided, intriguingly, to craft a movie about loss and letting go. And they've done so with uncommon humor and heart. Go to Full Review

Tumbledown comes up light in the categories that matter most, miring a capable cast in a forced cable-knit folksiness familiar to anyone who has ever watched anything set in New England. Go to Full Review

By the time "Tumbledown" reaches its genuinely rousing conclusion, you could wonder why Hannah was ever down in the dumps, but it's all the more satisfying because of the path she has to take to get there. Go to Full Review

Jonathan K Jul 13 A real mixed bag. The script feels thin in places and the dialogue gets herky-jerky. The premise is solid though, and the Damien Jurado songs do a lot of the heavy lifting. Both leads are good, even if their chemistry didn’t fully convince me. I did like that they were both written as flawed humans who mess up and say the wrong things. It’s not some tidy little pop movie, though it's close. But still, something about their interactions felt off. Like, almost authentic, but not quite...

Rebecca Hall is appropriately conflicted about moving forward with the man she hired to write her late husband's biography. Blythe Danner and Richard Masur are good as her parents.
