Hick Reviews

Movie Reviews

• with its fairy-tale tinge, the film has neither the fever-dream discomfort of "Wild at Heart" nor the satirical oomph of "Lolita"

  by Mark Olsen [Los Angeles Times ]

• what is watchable here is made possible by the sheer will of the gifted Moretz, who's in every scene as the precocious Luli

  by Andrew Lapin [NPR ]

• too odd to be funny, too cold-hearted to be tragic

  by Chuck Wilson [Village Voice ]

• the rest of Hick adds up to nothing more than a tax write-off

  by Rex Reed [New York Observer ]

• the movie also seems a bit unclear in its motives

  by Stephanie Zacharek [Movieline ]

• only too resonant

  by R. Kurt Osenlund [Slant Magazine ]

• ms. Portes's script strains credulity, and it's not helped by Mr. Martini, who can't find the right tone

  by Rachel Saltz [New York Times ]

• more incompetent specifically when it is concerned with violent and sexual material

  Review rate : D- by James Rocchi [The Playlist ]

• leaving a bad taste

  by Lou Lumenick [New York Post ]

• is one of the most unclean and clammy films I've ever had to endure at a film festival

  Review rate : D- by James Rocchi [The Playlist ]

• is a trashy soap opera that could care less about characters, pacing, narrative, or even basic human interaction

  Review rate : F by Matt Goldberg [Collider.com ]

• an overly familiar coming-of-age drama that morphs into an unconvincing slice of blood-soaked Southern gothic nastiness

  by Alan Hunter [Screendaily.com ]
