The dialogue consists of almost comically generic self-help pabulum, uttered with the pseudo sincerity of someone pretending it's something enlightening. It's not. September 22, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Instead of a hearty chowder of emotional highs and lows, first-time director Alexander Janko, who also adapted the script, settles for a diluted, Campbell's-Soup version of getting one's groove back. September 21, 2017 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The world needs more films for older audiences, so such viewers can see themselves on screen and so the seasoned veterans that get these roles can continue to get work long after their superhero movie days are gone. July 16, 2019 | Rating: 4.5/10 | Full Review…

A quiet movie, as it should be. Joan finds herself because she slows down and listens to her own needs and wants, to nature and the day-to-day rhythms of the village she's become a temporary part of. December 1, 2017 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…
