Contains all the elements of a charmingly offbeat independent film, but somehow those elements never quite gel. Full Review |

4/5 |
Garity doesn't break any new Rainman ground here, but Allan Mindel's film has a nice sense of place, and Richard Murphy's script has lots of low-key surprises. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
Memorable enough to warrant another shot at director. This film ends in a way that proves Mindel doesn't rely on cliches to make a statement. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/4 |
Everyone seems to be playing someone else in Allan Mindel's full-of-potential, slight-of-script Milwaukee, Minnesota. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
A weird but tasty slice of Midwestern noir. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/5 |
Most of its cast makes strong impressions, but the plot and motivation don't quite jell, resulting in a minor item that shows its star Troy Garity to good advantage. Full Review |
||
|
|
More predictable than its makers seem aware, its emotional hooks much too dull to pull us in. Full Review |
||
|
C+ |
Two miscast actors provide all the annoyance the public can take. Full Review |
||
|
|
A strange, compelling film, with Mr. Garity as a likeable, winning centerpiece. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
Milwaukee, Minnesota is familiar but manages to be unique in flourishes that come when you least expect them. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
An odd movie that wears its idiosyncrasies poorly. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
From the outset, the movie bumbles into genre territory inhabited by superior specimens Full Review |
||
|
1.5/5 |
Allan Mindel is too taken with a Midwestern strain of weirdos who flounder in ramshackle houses, no-tell hotels and depressing juke joints. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/5 |
Allan Mindel's directing debut gives off the smug air of hipsters at play, making it hard to care what happens to any of its lost souls and inept opportunists. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
Solid acting by a cast headed by Troy Garity -- and striking cinematography by Bernd Heinl -- helps redeem Allan Mindel's never-quite-believable crime drama Milwaukee, Minnesota. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/4 |
Why do filmmakers persist in believing that we want to watch actors pretend to be mentally challenged? Full Review |
