Kids might enjoy this teenage fish-out-of-the-surf comedy, but anyone approaching the high school age of the movie's characters will spot the obvious formula within 15 minutes of opening credits. - Variety

Austenland (2013) |
This is unarguably literature-lite, and more likely to comes across as a patronising approach to the life's work of one of Britain's finest exports than a well-intentioned send-up. - CineVue

Dallas Buyers Club (2013) |

In the late 1960s and early '70s, a young Robert Redford proved he could hold his own, on his own, against nature and the screen with 'Downhill Racer' and 'Jeremiah Johnson.' Four decades later he's still proving it with the thrilling 'All Is Lost.' - Bloomberg News
