Chicago Sun-Times
It tells a full story with three acts, it introduces characters we get to know and care about, and it has something it passionately wants to say.

Maybe this well-loved Luke is who his neighbors want him to be, a good fellow who, with his father, reopens the old movie house in town -- the Majestic -- thus allowing his neighbors to dream in the dark again.

Boston Globe
A sweet, visually handsome sermon, but it's too dramatically bland to convert even the converted.
50
A pale imitation that challenges credulity and tries too hard to win our hearts with schmaltz.
30
Washington Post
It's too manufactured and deliberate to be persuasive.
