Chris Pine is so good that he makes the film worth seeing. I just wish the ride was a bit smoother overall. Go to Full Review Johnny Oleksinski New York Post Jan 24
1/4
One of those tundra, dimly lit living-room movies that snobs defend as closer to “real life.” Real life isn’t romantic. Real life isn’t exciting. Real life isn’t witty. Real life isn’t colorful. Real life doesn’t get better. And on and on. Go to Full Review Benjamin Lee Guardian Jan 23
2/5
The world is not kind to films like Carousel at this very moment and while I would love to see this particular subgenre flourish in the way it used to back in the 90s and 00s, it’s hard to muster up much in the way of strong feelings here.

2.5/5
A bit too simple and too meandering to generate any significant emotional response, the chemistry between Pine and Slate is enough to coast by on in Lambert's old-fashioned adult romance, which could have used a bit of soap to lather up some sentiment.

2.5/5
With far too many dreamlike montages of characters living their lives, some true messiness in the script, and perspective problems, Carousel gets stuck. The performances sometimes get it going again Go to Full Review Sean P. Means The Movie Cricket 1d
4/4
On paper, the reunion of these two former lovers could be the basis for a Hallmark Channel movie. But Lambert ... imbues the characters and their journey with warmth and depth that take the emotional stakes to a much higher level. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
