Blythe Danner is the heart and soul of this slightly ponderous movie about a family in crisis
October 25, 2018
You may feel as if you've seen this movie before: Ruth has Alzheimer's, her husband Burt is in denial and their grown children Nick and Bridget are at odds. But please, trust me, you haven't...

I could never quite believe in this family.
March 04, 2019
The three-way excellence of Forster, Swank and Shannon is the throbbing, tumultuous heart of Chomko's debut. Top-notch dialogue, earthy characterisation, a rich score...and an authentic angle on a weighty theme do the rest.

There's an inherent longing in Elizabeth Chomko's stunning feature debut, What They Had.
March 04, 2019
The film I found hardest to endure was this drama by Elizabeth Chomko, an especially dreary addition to the crowd of earnest American movies about families working through their issues.
October 25, 2018
What sets the film apart is the literate and insightful script by Elizabeth Chomko, who also directs, and a cast of stellar performers.
March 04, 2019
What ensues is theatrical, trying and emotionally over-wrought, with actress- turned-writer-director Elizabeth Chomko struggling to say anything that the likes of Still Alice, Away From Her and The Leisure Seeker haven't said better already.
October 26, 2018
Blythe Danner does a remarkable job of conveying Ruth's irreversible path into total memory loss without turning her into a movie-of-the-week cliché.
March 04, 2019
Inevitable heartache is deftly balanced with humour to dissipate tension.
March 05, 2019
It had moments of truth in it, but I didn't think that as a film it was particularly effective.
November 09, 2018
An affecting drama propped up by unexpected and humanizing moments of comedy.
