In the Land of Women movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: In the Land of Women is a pretty enough place to visit (particularly the design-mag interiors of Ryan's character's home, all precisely coordinated to match her eyes), but as a movie it appears to have nothing to say. Read more
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: In the Land of Women doesn't for a moment feel messy and chaotic where it counts. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: The meek, mopey comedy In the Land of Women is the film equivalent of a sensitive emo band with one foot in alternative rock and the other in the squishy pop mainstream: a softer, fuzzier Garden State. Read more
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: This comedy drama is capably acted and undeniably touching in spots, although less than two weeks after seeing it, I can remember having been undeniably touched but not much else. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The movie is shot well -- especially for a first-timer. But after a while the semi-realized, semi-familiar story line weighs it down, as do the loads and loads of talk. Read more
Nathan Rabin, AV Club: Is it too early to call for a moratorium on earnest comedy-dramas about overly sensitive, hyper-verbal young men working through emotional crises by having deep, meaningful conversations with manic pixie dream-girls? Read more
Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic: It can't decide on a tone, so it jars the viewer from one moment to another. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: No one is conniving or desperate enough for the movie to become a decent melodrama. And the conversations are too stale to culminate in interesting romance. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: Writer-director Kasdan has made the best film he can make now, which is no small thing. He will make even better ones in the future, which might be a very big thing indeed. Read more
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: Why make a garrulous movie about people in crisis if Olympia Dukakis winds up muzzled? Of all the troubled gabbers in Kasdan's film, the prickliest and most proficient is wasted in a few brief scenes. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: His ostensible profession is writing soft-core porn, but he really wants to be a serious novelist. If so, the life experiences he gains in this soppy, schematic weepie won't help much. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: Kasdan is the son of director Lawrence Kasdan. So while he should know better, he can be forgiven his many rookie errors. Why? Because in creating Carter and getting nuanced work from Brody, he has shown promise. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: An admirable first effort and likely to be enjoyed by women who wouldn't mind meeting that good-looking, self-effacing young man, and men who may be under the illusion that they in some way resemble him. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: In the Land of Women combines hugs and ''pain'' and dialogue so fakey-cute it makes your ears hurt. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: A sincere, smart and modest movie. Read more
Christy Lemire, Associated Press: It feels like Kasdan has piled one event on top of another on top of another, as opposed to building a believable story arc. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: These are purely movie creatures -- entities that may, in fact, arise from pods and exist only in relation to other movies and movie creatures. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: A movie with one awkward identity crisis. Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: One of those films in formed by intimate personal experience -- the experience of seeing Garden State. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: It's a wistfully humorous romantic weeper with emphasis on the humorous. Read more
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer: The film belongs to Brody, irritating and endearing and relatable in ways that actors rarely are. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: It's the kind of production that's pleasant to watch because it allows viewers to spend some time with believable characters who face 'regular' problems, but do so without becoming boring or overly familiar. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: Brody's apparent ease in his own skin and his skills as a listener make Carter an engaging fellow and make it understandable why, as soon as he moves to town, people start confiding in him. Read more
Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times: Lip-locking lapses aside, Carter's relationships with Sarah and with Lucy are rooted in the sharing of ideas and dreams and disappointments and fears. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: With dialogue that is often precious though occasionally thoughtful, Kasdan has made a film that's not bad, just irritating. Read more
Susan Walker, Toronto Star: This potentially saccharine weepy has an authentic ring, thanks to Jon Kasdan's script and a cast capable of delivering clever lines that sound just about right for whatever situation they're in. Read more
Jessica Grose, Village Voice: Without all the soppy plot devices, the Land of Women might have been someplace worth visiting. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: What matters here aren't the narrative events, so much as the movie's emotional textures. Read more
