“It's the rare sequel that deserves to outdo its predecessor, extending the story rather than rehashing it. ” –

3.5/5
“Although it's well-made, funny and poignant, it's hardly Earth-shattering; it comes down to a story of father-and-son conflict with some elements of road movies and buddy movies thrown in.” –

3.5/5
“Who knew that Shakespeare dude could be so entertaining? References to him abound in this messy but enjoyable movie right down to the use of a remake of Nick Lowe's "Cruel to Be Kind." But you don't have to be a fan of the Bard to like this affable film.” –

4/5
“What the book communicates better than the movie is just how grueling the Pacific Coast Trail can be...But that's only a quibble. Like the book, the movie inspires wanderlust, whether the quest is for your body or your psyche.” –

Killing Kennedy (2013)

“The least-well-known of the movie's four principal actors, he's [Will Rothhaar] the least weighed down by his own familiarity, and he gives an empathetic but intense portrayal of the increasingly obsessive Oswald.” –
