Dying girl brings boy who’s obsessed with death back to life. Unfortunately it feeds on the melodramatic.

The modest play of Gorden-Levitt and Kendrick is so natural it’s hard not to be drawn into their world and care for their characters. This well written and directed dramedy will have you by the heartstrings from beginning to end.

A beautiful story in principle, but it’s playing too much for your heartstrings. Passionate play between Gosling and McAdams and Garner and Rowlands. Good cinematography.

Cleverly made movie, slowly building tension, with little dialogue, that is carried solely by Gosling and the music of Martinez. Directing style reminds of David Lynch. Movie contains an uncomfortable level of violence.

Funny, especially Gleeson, and the Irish puns in general.

Even if you’re not interested in baseball, this movie is a fascinating exploration of superior management skills and a trust in science that is a valuable lesson to all managers. Pitt is fantastic, and Hill is much better than in a comedy role.

Cleverly written plot on the dirty game of politics seen at its most dark, where the focus in the movie shifts from idealism to corruption. Excellent performances by Gosling, Clooney, Seymour Hoffman, Giamatti and Wood.
