Forrest Gump may be an overly sentimental film with a somewhat problematic message, but its sweetness and charm are usually enough to approximate true depth and grace.

Self-ingratiatingly, and for this viewer maddeningly, it blends the comic with the Christly, the satirical with the sentimental, the free-thinking with the fuddy-duddy. February 4, 2020 | Full Review…

I can't see how people with low I.Q.s or those who love them are in any way comforted by all this hogwash. I can easily see how such people might be offended by its smug unreality. February 21, 2019 | Full Review…

Contrasting Forrest's unassuming innocence with the upheavals and rancor of the times, the film is a wisely goofy commentary on the stupidity of smartness. July 9, 2018 | Full Review…

A dark and driven work, haunted by violence, cruelty and a sense of the tragically absurd. February 17, 2015 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

It's too specific to be a proper allegory, and too vague to provide a satisfactorily millennial perspective on the last 50 years. Neither is it caustic enough to make one cry, nor soppy enough to make one laugh. February 6, 2020 | Full Review…

Yes, there were better motion pictures that year -- not just Pulp Fiction but also Quiz Show and Hoop Dreams (among others) -- but that's not meant to take away from this piece's appeal. July 13, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Forrest Gump has layers and nuances and ironies, and it's far bleaker than it is given credit for. Just because a movie is a monster hit doesn't mean it isn't interesting. July 8, 2019 | Full Review…

Fifty years from now, Forrest Gump will probably seem hopelessly quaint, cryptic, even ridiculous. Today, however, Gump, the much talked about summer fable starring Tom Hanks, is a tonic for an age of cancerous cynicism. February 20, 2019 | Full Review…

Only in America could you envision a film with the conceit of a simpleton as conduit through a swathe of that country's socio-history, and for it not to be a colossal satire. January 27, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
