Reviews for Spring Forward
Beatty and Schreiber give accomplished performances, but are handicapped by the staginess of the script and the static nature of Gilroy's direction.
every moment is jam packed with a philosophical or heavy moment, never giving his characters a chance to breath
Here’s a film that values good dialogue and complex characters over dramatic gimmicks and cheap action.
A remarkable film, totally absorbing from the first frame to the last. It's a marvel of simplicity and depth, comfort and compassion.
A breath of fresh air, and an antidote to all the mindless drivel Hollywood churns out on a regular basis.
A marvelous movie about a friendship that slowly unspools between two unlikely souls.
