50/50 [DVD]

Descripción

3 stars out of 5 -- Working from an autobiographical and aggressively competent script by Will Reiser, director Jonathan Levine smoothly realizes this memoir as a modest production that's disarmingly relatable...Box Office [With] artful direction by Jonathan Levine and an expertly assembled cast....50/50 may seem like an unlikely hybrid, but it grows on you.Los Angeles Times [I]t's the Rogen-Goldberg touch, with the duo's characteristic SUPERBAD mash of the sweet and the bracingly coarse, that sells this unusual downer/upper of a life-and-death comedy. -- Grade: B+Entertainment Weekly [I]t achieves the laughter-through-tears effect...thanks to the lightness and wit of Reiser's script; strong, committed performances; and some real insight into the difficulties of being supportive -- or, on the other end accepting that support.A.V. Club 3.5 stars out of 4 -- A movie handled with this kind of care is a rare gift. Refusing to hide from pain or bow to it, 50/50 makes its own rules.Rolling Stone 3.5 stars out of 4 -- Director Jonathan Levine has established the characters with enough care that the audience is prepared when they reveal greater depth toward the end.Chicago Sun-Times 4 stars out of 5 -- Jonathan Levine's film will get you, all right, but it'll get you with uniformly excellent performances, a moving and well-deployed soundtrack and, most impressive of all, genuine emotional truths.Total Film 3.5 stars out of 4 -- 50/50 takes the hackneyed convention of illness-driven melodrama and reinvigorates it with honesty, clear-eyed compassion and unsentimental wit.Washington Post
