Boundaries benefits from a stellar performance by the reliably excellent Christopher Plummer, but his work is overwhelmed by the mediocre movie that surrounds it.

The father's chicanery is the brightest spot in a screenplay that makes the heroine a shrill stooge for everyone else's agenda as the protagonists bicker their way to self-discovery and mutual regard. March 4, 2020 | Full Review…

A movie with no reason to exist apart from setting into motion an otherwise interesting cast, led by Christopher Plummer and Vera Farmiga. July 5, 2018 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

The film... crosses a line - between engaging idiosyncrasy and floundering improbability, amusing and cringeworthy. July 5, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Plummer and Farmiga are great together. If only they'd been given material to suit their skills. June 29, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

[Plummer] is incapable of mediocrity, but damn if the script doesn't draw him close to the edge. June 29, 2018 | Rating: 0/5 | Full Review…

That's the easy, low-grade charm of "Boundaries." Like the effects of Grandpa's weed, its performances loosen up - and at times even find the profundity in - a stiff and sometimes silly tale. June 28, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Writer-director Chloé Robichaud films in purposefully icy grays, but the film falls victim to its own drabness. Her characters are barely more than archetypes. February 27, 2020 | Full Review…

The story runs a fairly predictable course, but it is foremost Christopher Plummer who is the raison d'être for the film. It's not his best, but he's great. With hundreds of roles over his career, that's not saying much. October 17, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

[Shana] Feste keeps her story bubbling along, breezy and smart, heavy at times, but never morose. October 17, 2019 | Full Review…

Boundaries is a disappointing experience that could have been much more, and a shameful waste of a good cast. No reason to take this trip. April 23, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Shana Feste's pot-slinging cross-country road-trip dramedy deals in paternal disappointment and familial reconciliation but remains a bit high on its own supply. November 1, 2018 | Rating: C | Full Review…
