| |||||||||||
 
Dr. Seuss' The Lorax played to good not great reviews. Reviews were mixed. • Chris Vognar wrote in the Miami Herald, "...a little overstuffed with story. But the design is witty and imaginative, and the small grace notes are enough to keep an open-minded adult giggling." • And Stephen Whitty wrote in the New Jersey Star-Ledger, "It's not that it's a dreadful cartoon. It just feels like every other middling cartoon." 39 More Reviews... |

Foreign Parts, Good Reviews (Doc) NYC, Chicago

Foreign Parts played in New York City and Chicago to good reviews. • A.O. Scott wrote in the New York Times, "...drug addiction and poverty, hard work and jail time.... Véréna Paravel and J. P. Sniadecki are too polite to pry. But their tact adds to the richness of their film, which discovers a busy, complicated world within the space of few unlovely city blocks." More Reviews... |
