By Mary F. Pols (536) for TIME Magazine (1,130) on 07 Aug 2012

Review of Hope Springs (2012)

By Carrie Rickey (1,198) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 07 Aug 2012

Review of Hope Springs (2012)

By Marc Mohan (821) for Oregonian (1,550) on 07 Aug 2012

Review of Hope Springs (2012)

Review of Hope Springs (2012)

By Chris Hewitt (2,086) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 07 Aug 2012

Hope Springs succeeds in making us think about what a good marriage is, and that's not nothing. But it makes us do too much of the work…

Review of Hope Springs (2012)

By Mary Pols (197) for Time (1,811) on 07 Aug 2012

I don't want to scare anyone away, but Hope Springs, better than I expected, is a movie for grown ups that seems just the tiniest bit French…

Review of Hope Springs (2012)

By Dustin Putman (2,479) for TheFilmFile.com (2,314) on 07 Aug 2012

There aren't nearly enough movies made these days about and catering to the AARP-aged population, and even fewer still with the intelligence…

Review of Hope Springs (2012)

Instead of creating complex, three-dimensional human beings, Hope Springs infantilizes the emotions and life experiences of older Americans…

Hews closer to Ingmar Bergman's Scenes from a Marriage than to a Lifetime movie…

Review of Hope Springs (2012)

David Frankel wisely lets his actors do the heavy lifting and the result isn't so much an out and out comedy but a rather moving character…

Review of Hope Springs (2012)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 06 Aug 2012
