Review: The Future
"It's not that July doesn't have any good ideas. One sequence where Sophie’s pregnant friends transform with each reverse shot, during the course of a single conversation, into their own children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, where generations fly by in a bewildering matter of seconds, artfully captures Sophie’s helpless sense of disconnect from the marching tides of maturity around her. And the sub-plot of Sophie’s escape into a vaguely masochistic suburban domesticity is full of unexplored potential."

Review: Friends With Benefits
"Peering through the smokescreen of all the rewrites and story tampering, one can detect a core idea that was actually worth pursuing, namely that the new job in NYC is just a cover story for the real reason Dylan abruptly uproots his life: to run away from the unsolvable quagmire of his father’s escalating Alzheimer’s. To have better explored this conflict would be to create a fully formed character, equal parts audacity and cowardice, sympathetically flawed. However, Timberlake’s pandering need to always be liked renders such nuance untenable."
