Movie Reviews

Reviews:
"The goodwill is generated by the performances and the core of the story -- and by the pleasing, unexpected sight of Crudup strapping on a guitar again." - 10/16/2014 A.V. Club


"Crudup's performance holds the center. His pain isn't soggy or showy; it just feels true." -- Grade: B+ - 10/17/2014 Entertainment Weekly


3.5 stars out of 4 -- "[Crudup is] every inch the movie star in RUDDERLESS, a rather strange but engrossing film with one of the more jarring twists of any film in recent memory." - 10/15/2014 Chicago Sun-Times
