Dominick and Eugene drips with pathos. Tears are required by the end of the first reel. They got yawns instead from me.

Dominick and Eugene is every bit as icky as its premise would suggest, and possibly even more so. The film is a heavy, clanging guilt machine that functions by systematically exploiting Nicky's handicap.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 17, 2018

The film's shameless efforts to reach for the jugular mainly land in bathos.

Taking potentially sticky material...Young has held a hard line and has shaped a story of relationships that rings pure and fine as crystal.

| Oct 17, 2018

Young's socially-concerned drama is unafraid of tackling complex emotional issues, but what few patronising and hackneyed insights it offers are waved like red flags. Unsophisticated.

As directed by Robert M. Young, ''Dominick and Eugene'' has a refreshing plainness and a welcome unwillingness to milk the story for more pathos than is warranted.

Eventually, Robert M. Young's "Dominick and Eugene" wraps itself up neat as a button, but until that time Young produces an absorbingly messy blue-collar, white-collar Pittsburgh melodrama.

This thoughtful little piece is also sensitive without being sentimental.
