Nostalgia combines talented actors and honorable intentions, but poky pacing and a lack of depth make it unlikely the end result will ever inspire the titular emotion.

Here, director Mark Pellington seems to be aiming at a portrayal of nostalgia itself, with the people feeling it serving as necessary but ultimately unimportant vessels, the way a doctor researching cancer needs to see it working on a patient. Mar 2, 2018 | Rating: 0/5 | Full Review…

Only a few of the characters are well-developed enough to sustain the movie's interest, while the rest speak in obscure, poetic dialogue that repeats the central thesis ad nauseam. Mar 2, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Nostalgia" is an effective portrait of lives lived, told through shifting stories that examine the various ways in which we categorize our memories. Mar 2, 2018 | Rating: B | Full Review…

A well-meaning, expertly acted film, it unfortunately drowns in its own sorrow, making its commercial prospects dim. Feb 23, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

A slow, talky and only faintly moving meditation on mortality and memory. Feb 22, 2018 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

A relentless indulgence of hanky-pulling that fails its audience by never providing a real emotional respite from the film's successive troughs in mood and tone. Jul 17, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

The bittersweet NOSTALGIA is languid, serious-minded movie whose strengths are its thoughtful reflection on the meaning of objects left behind. Apr 25, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Chop 10 minutes off each segment and Nostalgia would have been a better film. As it is, it's a conversation starter for families and a reminder of the talents of its cast, but its lingering message isn't that distinctive. May 7, 2018 | Full Review…
