10,000 Saints
A teen (Asa Butterfield), a pregnant girl (Hailee Steinfeld) and the lead singer (Emile Hirsch) of a punk-rock band form their own surrogate family in the age of CBGB's, yuppies and the tinderbox of gentrification that exploded into the Tompkins Square Park Riots in New York's East Village in the 1980s.

Equal parts sensitive and overwrought, intelligent and preachy.

The movie feels like a quickly-sketched version of something much, much bigger.

The film shows all the earmarks of a story too heavily compressed; the complications among the entwined families pile up after a while, and the period milieu feels arbitrary.

It's far from a perfect film, but when it locks on to an emotionally complex moment, the feature succeeds more than a fails.

It's a sensitive and interesting film.

For a movie with extremely loud punk-rock music at its core, "Ten Thousand Saints" is a pleasantly low-key experience; it's a small-scale character drama about learning to live with loss.

"Ten Thousand Saints" pulsates with full-blooded supporting characters who create a tragic-absurd tapestry of decay and rebellion in the Ronald Reagan years, from depressed New England to volatile New York. It's too bad the center cannot hold.

Jude, our narrator, is paper thin. His most memorable qualities are his gangly frame and his bright blue eyes.

The emotionally uneven film is more intriguing in parts than as a whole, with the periphery characters often more compelling than the somewhat passive protagonist.

The cinematography by Ben Kutchins works more from grime than grim, capturing a battered backdrop for the characters rather than a cartoon battlefield of drugs and crime/

Lacks resonance and a steady directorial hand.

Ethan Hawke is so funny in Ten Thousand Saints that he nearly keeps the movie afloat.
