Movie Reviews
“A movie that prioritizes feeling over structure. If it struggles to find a rhythm, especially in the early going, there’s no question that it sends you off on a gentle high” Sheri Linden: The Hollywood Reporter
“Despite the earnestness of this all-American coming of age story, it is hard to escape the sense that “The Tender Bar” lies somewhere between a Nicholas Sparks adaptation and a middling Saturday Night Live sketch.” Rafaela Sales Ross: The Playlist
“A pleasantly anecdotal amble down memory lane (…) But the fact is: nothing much happens.” Nicholas Barber: IndieWire
