"Vincent Wants to Sea" never deviates from the predictable bonding-through-misadventure script, and it has little to teach us about the nature and treatment of the traveler's respective maladies.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Overview
Vincent, a young man who suffers from Tourette's syndrome, has just lost his mother. His father, a successful politician, does not want to take care of him and therefore places him into a mental institution. He is put into a room with Alexander, a guy with a compulsive disorder, and is shown around by Marie, an anorectic girl.

This is a bright, broad, silly, harmless movie whose sweetness is a means to an end: "Escape From Sesame Street.''
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

Predictability gives way to touching drama.

What's missing is any of the real-life messiness that might have lifted this material from its creatively tic-ridden confines.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Like a lot of recent foreign and independent films, "Vincent Wants to Sea" tends to thrash around while its creators try to locate a finale that's neither obvious nor unrealistic.
