"Captivating drama delivers literary flair and Louisiana music and great roles for a grizzled John Travolta and lovely Scarlett Johansson." | ||
|
|
|
"A pedigree cast elevates old-fashioned material and lackluster screenwriting" | ||
|
|
|

|
|

|

|
|
|

|
|
|
"A film that feels lived in, confident despite its conventions" | ||
|

|
"A poky dawdle of a Southern-style indie that would pass without notice but for John Travolta and Scarlett Johansson." |
