Evergreen Reviews
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Observant, touching, funny and smart.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Only the performances keep the film out of After School Special territory.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Zentelis' affection for her characters and the clear-eyed honesty of her storytelling glides us through any unsubtleties.
Miami Herald
Connie Ogle
Although Zentelis doesn't always nail the strange rhythms of real life, she does show that she's on the right track.
Detroit News
Tom Long
The progression of Evergreen is fairly familiar and director Zentelis relies heavily on characters who aren't inherently that interesting.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Newcomer Land is a find, performing with guileless naturalism and resilient dignity.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
The movie appears to be aimed at thoughtful teenagers and indie film fans, but they'll be the first to recognize that they've seen this story done better on television.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
Aiming for simplicity, it ends up simplistic.
Chicago Tribune
Allison Benedikt
For all kind and admirable reasons, Zentelis wants to portray America's working poor, but she only gets deep enough to pity them.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Zentelis sees these people as essentially well-meaning and cares for them so deeply that the feeling is contagious. She has an unpretentious, effortless style and is highly skilled with her first-rate cast.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Thought-provoking film about social class; teens+.
Arizona Republic
Kathy Cano-Murillo
The story itself is bland, almost to the point of droopy eyelids.
Dallas Morning News
Charles Ealy
A sensitive film.
New York Times
Ned Martel
In this waterlogged indie film, a moody ingenue takes in drive-by glimpses of Everett, Washington, her new hometown.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The script is sometimes awkward and over-reaching, but it is helped a great deal by the natural but sensitive performances, especially Gary Farmer.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
As trite as they come.
Variety
David Rooney
Recalling the ultra-earnest granola movies of Sundances past, Evergreen has so many requisite ingredients it's like a humorless parody.
Village Voice
Ed Park
Though the acting is tentative at times, with performances not quite landing on the same page, Evergreen is a compassionate slice of Pacific Northwest misery.
Hollywood Reporter
Duane Byrge
Told with a tender vigor, the film explores relationships on a number of levels.
