Her is such a well-drawn character sketch-with such a fantastic Chastain performance-that it practically justifies the whole experiment. Full Review
Even at its most purplish and highfalutin (mostly in the “Her” section), “Eleanor Rigby” always aims for something sincere... Full Review
All of these characters are worth knowing and the acting is excellent all around, but somewhere along the line the narrative arc vanishes and tedium sets in. Full Review
