3 stars out of 4 -- The actors make it new and poignant....The emotions of these characters come from hearts long worn down by the troubles we see.

Jack Goes Boating is an impressive display of Hoffman's work. As an actor, and director, Hoffman always recognized the power of restraint to create a memorable impression - albeit, in this case, not one that leaves behind an indelible trace. Full Review

Ms. Rubin-Vega, with anger and defeat lurking behind her mask of competence and resilience, is stealthily heartbreaking, as is Mr. Ortiz...

Rating: B- -- Hoffman the director can't compete with Hoffman the film's star. And he can pretty much just stand in wonder at the layers co-star Amy Ryan brings to the party. The woman is a natural wonder. Full Review

3 stars out of 4 -- Making his debut behind the camera, Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman directs like he acts, with a sharp eye for the small details that cut to the soul of a character.

[Hoffman] fuels the film with subtleties, from the slow burn of a love story to a lazy, piano-infused score....It lulls you with its slow-warming heart.
