Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Passably pleasant but thoroughly predictable.
– Joe Leydon,

fresh:
A movie whose main virtue was its honesty ultimately lands in a place that feels canned and unsatisfying. But on the way there, Backwards isn't so bad.
– Mick LaSalle,

rotten:
The biggest problem ... is the characters who populate the film. For the most part, they're one-dimensional caricatures.

rotten:
The neatness of the plotting becomes almost comical after a while. Construction is one thing; contrivance is another.

fresh:
Although this modest indie may not make a huge splash, it just might inspire some hearty younger viewers - especially women - to grab a set of oars and find their bliss.
