Merle Bertrand

If you liked "Magnolia," you'll also like Mind the Gap. Read full review

Joe Leydon

Warm-hearted but clear-eyed indie effort richly repays audience patience during deliberately paced and provocatively allusive early scenes with a cumulative emotional impact that is immensely satisfying. Read full review

Robert Dominguez

Everyone somehow ends up in Manhattan for a contrived and predictable conclusion. In his last film role, the late Alan King is reduced to a stereotype of a cantankerous Jewish senior. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

An earnest but overly contrived and overly long tale. Read full review

Ella Taylor

You can see what's coming five minutes into the movie, but capable acting lends it a certain superficial charm. Read full review

Frank Scheck

An overly ambitious, overly complex and overly long opus that bites off more than it can chew. Read full review

Ben Kenigsberg

The acting was suprisingly honest, the music was fantastic, and it evoked emotions out of me that any movie I didn't expect much from this film, as it was required for a Philosophy class here at Notre Dame, but I was nothing short of impressed and it quickly made my favorites list. The acting was suprisingly honest, the music was fantastic, and it evoked emotions out of me that any movie would be hard-pressed to do. I will be buying a copy immediately. Magnolia wishes it were this sincere. I'd say Crash is a better comparison, but it deals with of relationships, instead of stereotypes and ignorance.… Expand

If you're not a critic you'll enjoy it. Critics judge, and critique what they can not do. Love the movie.
