Poster Rating: C+ / C / C

Review: (#1, C+) Heavily doctored, this film scene is embellished poorly and creates a mistaken sense of purpose. It’s striking so might entice some but not many. (#2, C) Copied directly from the film, this scene does stoke lightheartedness but doesn’t genuinely thrill. (#3, C) Another film scene, albeit from a different perspective, it doesn’t quite get at the heart of the film’s premise nor does it create an image that might be appealing to the viewer.

Trailer Rating: C

SEE ALL TRAILERS BELOW
Review: (#1, C) An unusual concept to be sure, the trailer does a satisfactory job putting that forward but with mediocre shades of Lost in Translation mixed with a family drama, the trailer doesn’t have enough meat on the bones to genuinely impress.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
