Foote pulls off a daring and unexpected finish for The Tavern that takes it to a rigorous, uncompromising level.
75
A worthwhile choice in a crowded marketplace.
70
Astringent and unsentimental, it is a case study of losing, its clear eye focused unwaveringly on the realities of commerce and kinship.
63
Won't change the world, but thanks to its casual intimacy, it was a risk worth taking.
60
Although on the surface this is a modest comedy about the Catch-22 frustrations of the restaurant game (arcane insurance laws, backstabbing chefs), it is also a movie of some psychological depth, thanks to the understated precision of Dye's deep-welled performance.
35
The narrative disjointedness is not at all relieved by confusing editing, an uncertain tone, and a dragging pace that makes the film a progressively dreary experience.
20
A lovely soundtrack by Irish balladeers the Saw Doctors can't make up for the rest of this belabored labor of love.
