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. Sep 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. Sep 21, 2017 | Rating: 2/4

"Year by the Sea" is for audiences who don't trust the shiftiness of nuance and craft, of messages that rise up from dramatic situations rather than being pasted on top of them, and who would prefer their life lessons stated loudly ... Sep 21, 2017 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

The soundtrack alone, with its intrusive string of montage-backing soft rock tunes, could shut down less forgiving viewers. Sep 14, 2017 | Full Review…

The movie is not entirely my cup of tea, although it is refreshing in its depiction of diverse, older female characters. Sep 7, 2017 | 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. Dec 1, 2017 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

The characters in the self-discovery melodrama Year by the Sea are in danger of drowning -- not in the cold North Atlantic waters, but in the tidal wave of maritime metaphors unleashed by the script. Sep 28, 2017 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

"Sea" is little more than a lame excuse for good actors to embarrass themselves by uttering eye-rolling bromides about aging gracefully. Sep 24, 2017 | Rating: C | Full Review…

[Year by the Sea] is not a film trying to show the extraordinary in the mundane, but rather create a space for characters like Joan to figure out what they can become. Sep 11, 2017 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

Subtly sincere, if soggy, renewal melodrama. If you liked EAT PRAY LOVE, UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN and 45 YEARS, you'll enjoy this.... Sep 10, 2017 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…
