You don't like Don't Move, you admire it for daring to be a bit more complex, for caring about characters who are hard to care about and for plowing forward through all manner of ugly business.

Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten

Though beautifully shot and acted, Don't Move still holds limited appeal.

Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
Rotten

Romantic melodrama of the worst kind.

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Fresh

The performances are exquisite.

Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune

It has grand flourishes, bold strokes and a soundtrack that swells with emotional Italian and American rock, but it doesn't go over the edge of sentimentality. It's too hard-edged and its acting is too restrained and fine for that.

Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle
