Lovely, Still
Landau & Burstyn are magnificent in this beautiful, magical, dark & devastating film. I wept like it was WALL-E. Seriously... watch this film. The performances are off the charts & it's so powerful & emotional. I'm *still* crying. Damn. 5/5

Love & Distrust
Horrible. Just horrible. Pretentious, pointless, and amateur hour all the way around. Don't even bother. 1/5

Dear John
I keep waiting for another Sparks movie to be half as good as "The Notebook". I'm still waiting. Weak sauce. 2.5/5
