Harks back to a time when movies had more to do with imagination than market research.

Those with the patience to submit to its low-energy charms may find their time well spent.

Any movie that signals the menace of a potential lynching by zooming its camera through the loop of a gallows noose cannot claim subtlety, but director Jay Russell never lets the swirling emotions of Tuck become too drippy.

Ken Tucker, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten

Bledel and Jonathan Jackson's gorge-side canoodling drifts dangerously close to Blue Lagoon territory.

Ed Park, Village Voice
Fresh

A successful merger of the whimsical and the weird.

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
