Angels Crest Ratings & Reviews
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
A garbled melodrama striving to be tragic drama.
Shockya.com
Brent Simon
A not very subtle and generally unpersuasive stab at tapestral grief-as-elegy.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Catherine Trieschmann's script, based on the novel by Leslie Schwartz, barely scratches the potentially loaded surfaces it serves up.
Knight at the Movies
Richard Knight
Nothing sticks for long in this strangely muted, depressing drama that blows from one scene to the next without any particular rhythm like one of the pretty snow drifts in the film.
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
Hopelessly bleak tragedy, as trumatic guilt gnaws on everyone's sensibilities.
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
Frosty and oddly cast
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
While there is a great deal of weeping and wailing going on in the town of Angels Crest, little of it is connected to a comprehensible or cohesive plot.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
Dellal gets respectable performances all around ... but they can't elevate "Angels Crest" ... beyond its one obvious and depressing note ...
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Despite several solid performances, the characters are too hazily sketched and too loosely linked to form a meaningful chain.
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
A high-school production of a second-rate Greek tragedian.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
There's actually less here than meets the eye.
Filmcritic.com
Norm Schrager
a bare-bones affair for the cast and the audience.
AV Club
Noel Murray
It relies too much on two particularly played-out indie clichs: a spare, plunky soundtrack, and a narrative structure that teases out characters' backstory far longer than necessary.
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
Parental sorrow is a fine big theme; all that's missing here is the detail-work to humanize it.
Slant Magazine
Glenn Heath Jr.
Angels Crest opens with the laughter of children at play, but that's the only hint of happiness you'll find in this unflinchingly manipulative and pointless morality play.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The main story remains intriguing even if it never becomes profound.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
Angels Crest has a number of peripheral problems, mostly to do with the sheer number of under-developed characters and subplots.
Film.com
Eric D. Snider
The movie's real strength is Gaby Dellal's careful, subtle direction. She avoids the pitfalls of melodrama and histrionics that often plague movies about loss, keeping her actors' emotions grounded in recognizable truth.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Drama about the small-town aftermath of a child's accidental death can't match its sincerity with dramatic heft.
CinemaBlend
Perri Nemiroff
If it weren't for Gaby Dellal's impressively telling imagery and the talented cast, it'd be impossible to be engaged in Angels Crest much at all.
