Lacks resonance and a steady directorial hand.

3/4

For a movie with extremely loud punk-rock music at its core, "Ten Thousand Saints" is a pleasantly low-key experience; it's a small-scale character drama about learning to live with loss.

The film shows all the earmarks of a story too heavily compressed; the complications among the entwined families pile up after a while, and the period milieu feels arbitrary.

3/5

A bit of a "paint by numbers" exercise that never manages to fully engage.

There's a lot wrong with [the movie], but I forgive it because most of the actors carry the movie's awkward melodrama--and because it's a reminder of an East Village that's quickly disappearing.

3/5

Springer Berman and Pulcini bring to the screen some realism and grunge which, along with good performances, keep the movie from dragging too much.

This is a pretty average movie but it has Hailee Steinfeld so the score gets a boost.

Directionless people make questionable decisions that are either directly tragic or indirectly tragic; level of casting helps making Ten Thousand Saints palatable

Heartbreaking sad screwed up is How i Would describe this amazing dark beautiful movie. I relate to some aspects of this film in ways I won't say but long story short it moved me. Hailee Steinfeld is amazing. This is my one of my favorite performances She has given. This is a highlight of Hailee's acting career. I might be biased because Hailee is my favorite actress but she is so freaking good. The other actor's are good but Hailee is the best part of the movie by far. Their are better movie's out their but the performances are great. The movie is good enough.

Enjoyed the storyline and twists and turns it took. Ethan Hawke is the best in this movie. Could've been shorter.
