The flashbacks are almost as smoothly subtle as the title of one of the paintings showcased by Billy Dee Williams's character: Portrait of a Journey.

| Original Score: 2/6 | Feb 10, 2007

This overplotted, emotional dump plods along as if the characters are stuck in the cinematic equivalent of quicksand, never generating any traction because no matter how much everybody vents, nothing of consequence ever transpires.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 8, 2007

Neither the camera nor the script can focus.

| Original Score: C | Feb 7, 2007

I'm nodding off just thinking about the long, static close-ups and endless scenes of people walking and sitting and doing nothing.

... the biggest problem is that the insights ... are strictly Hallmark 온라인카지노추천 movie stuff, an association reinforced by the mawkish visual style and score.

Full Review | Feb 5, 2007

The stage is set for emotional pyrotechnics that never quite materialize, because for all their squabbles, grudges and grievances, they all basically love each other.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 2, 2007

Scenes in which little or nothing happens pass by slowly, and the only point of suspense is whether the number of tearful hugs at the end will reach double digits.

Full Review | Original Score: 0/4 | Feb 2, 2007

A movie whose abundant smarts are fatally compromised by its writer-director Jordan Walker-Pearlman's rudimentary filmmaking skills.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 2, 2007

Loosely edited scenes juxtaposed in the most vexing ways and completely disparate motifs blurs Constellation into an image that the Hubble Space Telescope could not sharpen.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 2, 2007

If earnestness equaled skill, Constellation would be a classic.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 2, 2007

Featuring a stalwart cast (many of whom appeared in Walker-Pearlman's 2000 drama, The Visit) and some delicately wrought moments, the film is unable to overcome its soap opera scenario and clunky pacing.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 1, 2007

Although the performers -- including Lesley Ann Warren, David Clennon and Rae Dawn Chong -- are pleasing to watch with their semi-improvised encounters, their scenes don't add up to the accumulative glow the filmmaker had in mind.

| Feb 1, 2007

An accomplished cast that includes Billy Dee Williams, Lesley Ann Warren and Rae Dawn Chong struggles to elevate material that rarely gets deeper than a daytime soap, though it tries mightily.

Full Review | Feb 1, 2007

The narration, intrusive and often unneeded, is interrupted by long sequences without dialogue.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 1, 2007

Moody pictures, swollen music and portentous dialogue are all great, but they need to have a narrative propping them up.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 1, 2007

Constellation positions itself as a sweeping, multigenerational tearjerker in the style of The Notebook, complete with endless shots of two characters staring meaningfully at one another while gloppy music wells on the soundtrack.

| Feb 1, 2007

Lacks focus with its plethora of family entanglements.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 28, 2007

There are no revelations here, no real reconciliations, as nobody really hates each other.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 27, 2007

It's tempting to simply dismiss Constellation as a 온라인카지노추천 movie-quality feature, but such a description nonetheless probably sells 온라인카지노추천 movies short.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 20, 2007
