It is intended for an audience that is willing to take a journey without knowing the destination. full review

The kind of character-driven movie about whacked-out characters we need more of (the characters and the movies). full review

Mira Sorvino is very good -- too good -- at playing a very annoying person in Nancy Savoca's Union Square. full review

Propelled by a rangy, superbly colorful performance by Mira Sorvino, the film grabs hold of the viewer from the jump and snowballs toward a deftly moving and concise third act. full review

It doesn't pretend to be anything more than it is - a slice-o'-life domestic drama/dark comedy of manners savvy about its limits and sufficiently disciplined to keep its convolutions to a credible, impactful minimum. full review

Sorvino brings a spark, but neither she nor Patti LuPone, in an amusing cameo, can overcome the clockwork-like plod to the end. full review

An interesting study of families, of class-consciousness, of little passive-aggressive tricks. full review

"Union Square" has the busy, hemmed-in talkiness of a theater piece, with too much forced to happen in too short a time. But it also has a lively, nervous energy and an expansive sympathy for the mismatched women at its heart. full review

Savoca's ear for dialogue and a pair of electric lead performances give this souped-up one-act some life. full review

Despite its problems, there's a touching sweetness at the heart of Nancy Savoca's intimate family drama about estranged sisters trying to reconnect. full review

The look is minimalist but the two lead actresses add pleasing layers to characters of estranged sisters who parted ways for reasons Lucy refers to only cryptically. full review

The actors are so good ... that they make you want to see what they could do in a better movie than this tedious acting-class experiment. full review

Often feels like an acting exercise documented on video for teaching purposes-lots of unnecessary histrionics and ostentatious zooms, with both the story and the improv-like dialogue predicated on contrivances and glaring improbabilities. full review
