Search: Starring Jason Ritter

A tight little film that could have been disastrous if mishandled.

O’Nan the writer and director consistently pulls an unexpected development or a priceless piece of dialogue from up his sleeve, ensuring you never lose interest in the tangled lives of a flawed but basically good-hearted main trio.

Ryan O'Nan is good value. He is ably supported by Ferrera, as the long-suffering spouse. They're stuck with a script that can't quite find the right voice for its concerns.

Freddy vs Jason is the battle you've been waiting to see and, boy, does it raise the bar on excitement!

Despite dealing with some very heavy issues Palka has a surprisingly light touch, levening the more bleak moments with some rich, dark comedy.

This is a straight forward an intimate documentary that quickly forges a connection between us and Palka.

It's good to see a teen movie that doesn't order American pie for a gang of no-brains in a white trash diner.

The film is, necessarily, shocking but Fox handles what must have been difficult emotional material for her in a cool and responsible way that makes the message she delivers all the more devastating.

In the end I found myself won over by the charm of this film's various creative idiosyncrasies and by the charisma of Brolin’s performance.
