It could be said that Forrest Gump is the definitive American movie. Full Review
A magical movie. Full Review
Despite its flaws, this is simply unmissable. Full Review
Has the elements of an emotionally gripping story. Yet it feels less like a romance than like a coffee-table book celebrating the magic of special effects. Full Review
Largely enjoyable. Full Review
Whimsy with a strong cultural spine. Full Review
