Reviews for The Velocity of Gary
Has rough spots but rings emotionally true and paints a vivid picture of New York City's underbelly.
...despite their best efforts, none of [the actors] are able to create characters worth caring about.
Everything pales next to the spectacle of Hayek barnstorming through this story as if it were her Mildred Pierce.She emotes the way Vesuvius erupts.
An off-putting mix of quirkiness and overweening solemnity, it simply never finds the right tone and only results in shrieking obviousness.
