The effort from the cast is most dignified, because without them the film would drown in embarrassing tedium. [Full review in Spanish]

| Oct 6, 2022

With a subtle emotional build, intricately nuanced and believable performances that are deeply affective, touching the heart, Welcome to The Rileys rolls out the welcome mat to each of us.

| Nov 16, 2019

Takes clichéd storytelling and predictability and runs with it, padding out a 110-minute runtime with a story that has the ability to be compelling if it wasn't for the fact that we have seen it all before.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 5, 2018

Ken Hixon's (City by the Sea, Inventing the Abbotts) script is formulaic and doesn't take any chances... but [director Jake] Scott and his trio of actors elevate the material with light yet heartfelt touches.

| Oct 24, 2017

Plenty of authentic laughs and great supporting performances make Welcome to the Rileys a decent film.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 11, 2013

For every moment of raw self-destruction there is an equally charming resolution.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 5, 2012

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 25, 2011

[It] will win no prizes for originality, but it benefits greatly from the subtle performances of the two leads, particularly Leo...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 20, 2011

It's a preposterous story, yet for part of its duration at least, Gandolfini as the slouching, baggily dressed Doug and Leo as the reawakened wife manage to make it rather touching.

| Nov 19, 2011

If it could be too slow-burning for some, it is at least a refreshing change from a pattern of film-making that never gives you a moment's rest because there is nothing under the surface.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 19, 2011

It's downbeat and has little to say about the grieving process, and while Gandolfini and Leo are memorable, Stewart is not.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 19, 2011

Gandolfini's bashful, bear-like Doug is endearing but most of this earnest film just doesn't ring true.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 19, 2011

It's a well-made film, and New Orleans is crisply and interestingly shot by cinematographer Christopher Soos, but this ultimately looks like a 온라인카지노추천 movie dressed up for the big screen.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 17, 2011

Despite its indie sensibilities, under the surface it's a pure Hollywood heart that beats here.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 17, 2011

Stewart's strung-out, frowzy performance is a timely reminder that the girl can act, but despite strong work from all three leads, the facile screenplay runs out of things to say fairly quickly.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 17, 2011

The dialogue and ponderous drama got lost even before the camera rolled.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 17, 2011

Observant writing and direction make this exploration of grief surprisingly uplifting.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 17, 2011

Quietly assured and superbly written, this is an emotionally engaging drama with a trio of terrific performances from James Gandolfini, Kristen Stewart and Melissa Leo.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 16, 2011

Movingly written and exquisitely played by the three leads, this never gets bogged down in sentiment or lazily opts for easy answers.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 16, 2011

Stewart lets it all hang out in a firecracker role but her damaged character never achieves the depth the weak material could have done with.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 15, 2011
