Features more cliches than it can comfortably handle and is not helped by its grindingly slow pacing. July 23, 2010 | Full Review…

Strongly acted and beautifully photographed (by Virgil Mirano), "Spoken Word" is a quietly resonant family drama about the tug of old habits and the difficulties of escaping the past. July 23, 2010 | Rating: 3.5/5

It takes the Mexican-American melodrama Spoken Word a long time to express myriad sentiments that we've heard uttered many times before in many ethnic settings. July 29, 2010 | Rating: 2/5

Low key, low budget and low profile character-driven drama is occasionally refreshing, but more frequently small scale to a fault. July 26, 2010 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The familiar plot structure is only the tip of the formulaic iceberg, a foundation for more stale conventions than any indie should dare embrace. July 25, 2010 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

Moving poetry, very appealing actors, lovely landscape, and resonant music can't quite make up for the predictable family story and dialogue in a heartfelt film. July 24, 2010 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review…

Well-enough executed by a capable cast to recommend, especially for heathens unfamiliar with the Biblical tale which ostensibly served as the source of inspiration. July 23, 2010 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

The film's use of poetry to get at the subconscious mind of its protagonist works well early on but settles into a knee-jerk device that can't distract from the film's pedestrian plotting and direction. July 23, 2010 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

A recurring vista of a highway pass carved through the rock and trees is lovely but pointedly unspectacular, a showcase for the kind of beauty that builds when you let your eye linger. July 23, 2010 | Full Review…
