Malcolm L. Johnson Hartford Courant 06/06/2018
Sommer's adaptation of his own novella slows to a crawl as it unwinds its slender thread of plot. Despite a touching performance by Hawn -- and an impressive acting bow by David Arnott as her son, not much happens after [the] involving exposition. Go to Full Review

Frans B @FransB 1d Very good movie.Very well directed by Chris Menges. Well written and executed. Great cinematography manages to capture that late 60's - early 70's ambiance and vibe. Very capable cast all convincing in character with lots of really heartfelt performances. Filled with emotion, coming of age moments, drama, intrigue, suspense and real life struggles. Deserves more recognition because the basic moviemaking is just about flawless. Entertaining and captivating See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 04/17/2022 CrissCross is an okay film. It is about a 12-year-old boy who comes of age in 1969 Key West against the backdrop of the Apollo moon landing. Goldie Hawn and Arliss Howard give decent performances. The script is a little slow in places. Chris Menges did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama. See more s r @ScottR 09/02/2020 It started good, then got cheap in its plot. Saw on TCM. See more 01/25/2020 This is just a somewhat bland coming of age movie. I felt there was enough solid story that held my interest. I don't think the movie was as bad as its current ratings. One thing that throws the story out of alignment, for a brief break of laughter; is Goldie Hawns pole dancing! It was pretty horrible, not very realistic. Also the narration maybe shouldn't have been told by the boy, but probably a recollection from a young man. See more 09/20/2018 Pleasant little pix.

Some good moments and some flat spots. See more Read all reviews
