Rachel Lambert proves to have a solid grasp of tone, building a quiet yet casual intimacy between Noah and Rebecca that leads to some of the film's best scenes. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Jan 25
Chris Pine is so good that he makes the film worth seeing. I just wish the ride was a bit smoother overall. Go to Full Review Johnny Oleksinski New York Post Jan 24
1/4
