Alex of Venice might not break any new bounds in storytelling but it's a confident exploration of a traumatic life change.April 16, 2015
An appealing portrait miniature of a woman who loses and finds her bearings ...April 16, 2015
The film is so uneven, the characters and relationships so undeveloped, it's hard to work up much sympathy.April 17, 2015
The movie's quirky setting pays off dividends where you least expect them. At such moments, the movie's humanism finally seems unforced, and everything is the better for that.April 16, 2015
As she flails through a few dubious choices, the character may be on the kind of self-discovery path we've seen in countless other films; but Winstead makes the outcome seem far from preordained.April 23, 2015
The problem with Chris Messina's directorial debut isn't so much badness as it is superfluousness -- that it is less its own discrete thing than a redundant genre study in This Type of Movie.April 23, 2015
Chris Messina's directorial debut is a strong one, mainly because of a beautifully wounded leading performance by Marty Elizabeth Winstead that's full of strength, growth, and heartwarming soul.June 25, 2015
Passable at best, but doesn't quite have enough charm or humour to flavour the storytelling tofu.July 23, 2015
Alex Of Venice closes with a bit of a whimper, though it's a pleasant ride, nevertheless.April 20, 2015
Mary Elizabeth Winstead is eminently relatable in a compassionate, human-scaled movie of the sort that movies have almost forgotten of late.April 16, 2015
Chris Messina's "Alex of Venice" is as much a love letter to the Los Angeles neighborhood as it is a well-observed drama.April 16, 2015
Although it's enjoyable, actor Chris Messina's directorial debut is somehow less than the sum of its parts, wading only through the shallow end of familiar human conflicts resolved too conveniently to satisfy.
