Mighty Fine Reviews

A well-meaning but unstable hand at the tiller, and a propensity for charting plot points, rather than a clear narrative destination.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

If you can overlook Andie MacDowell's Mitteleuropa accent as a Jewish Holocaust survivor (I know: big if), the cinematic roman a clef "Mighty Fine" has some quiet charms.

"Mighty Fine," unfortunately, isn't.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Hard to imagine how a movie can manage to be so underdeveloped yet so depressing at the same time, but "Mighty Fine" manages to pull it off.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Its most distinctive aspect, unfortunately, is the hilarious sight of MacDowell struggling to speak German-accented English.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

The mood is generally melodramatic and ends as mushy, aided by the soft-focus cinematography that drenches it all in melancholic nostalgia.
