Review of The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio (2005) by Melissa Levine for Dallas Observer — 25 Nov 2016
The film congeals from dripping sentimentality into emulsified schmaltz when it brings in the actual Ryan family, all 10 children (now in their fifties and sixties), for a final scene. The intentions are clearly honorable, and we certainly wish these people well, but this isn't a memorial service, it's a movie.
