Review of Dean (2016)

By Jason Zingale (478) for Bullz-Eye.com (1,091) on 31 May 2017

While the movie feels every bit like the work of a first-time filmmaker, there's enough good stuff here to suggest that Martin has a promising…

Review of Dean (2016)

By Alonso Duralde (1,351) for TheWrap (3,203) on 31 May 2017

The loss doesn’t hit, and the comedy doesn’t land, leaving Dean a wasted opportunity that offers a few talented artists the chance to do…

Review of Dean (2016)

By Simi Horwitz (83) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 31 May 2017

Nice performances by Kevin Kline and Mary Steenburgen in an otherwise uninspired movie that explores a father and son's disparate expressions…

Review of Dean (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 31 May 2017

Martin's a smooth enough director to make fuller and more ambitious pictures than Dean. This one's a promising start…

Review of Dean (2016)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 31 May 2017

Stay patient through those Seinfeldian stretches in which Martin isn’t so much acting as performing, and you’ll be treated to the bonus…

Review of Dean (2016)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for AV Club (2,778) on 31 May 2017

Dean turns out to be quite touching, in retrospect. If only it were funny, clever, or in any other way particularly inspired from moment to moment…

Review of Dean (2016)

By Harvey S. Karten (2,210) for Shockya.com (657) on 30 May 2017

Demetri Martin proves to be a Renaissance man in directing, writing, editing, illustrating and as principal performer in the delightfully comic…

Review of Dean (2016)

By Neil Genzlinger (512) for New York Times (5,786) on 30 May 2017

If Mr. Martin’s take on grief is facile, the movie overall is a pleasant trip, and Dean’s doodles — by Mr. Martin himself — are a treat…

Review of Dean (2016)

By Kenji Fujishima (277) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 27 May 2017

One has to wade through a lot of eye-rolling comic marginalia to get to the film's pained beating heart…

Review of Dean (2016)

By Jason Gorber (520) for Birth.Movies.Death. (774) on 02 May 2017

A dramedy about love, death and everything in between, and a fine feature debut by comedian Demitri Martin…

Review of Dean (2016)

By Jordan Raup (239) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 20 Apr 2016
