Fatally, Craig's self-obsessed Joe never develops into anyone more interesting.

Daily Telegraph (UK)
Craig's shaken-but-not-stirred charisma makes the most of an underwritten part, but the movie nearly flat-lines when the actor's not onscreen, which is often.

L.A. Weekly
Whiile pic doesn't exactly feel like a vanity project, its weak script might have kept it forever in development hell if debutant writer-helmer Baillie Walsh weren't the topliner's good buddy.
Variety
Flashbacks flounders in the final third.

Rating: 4/5 --
Impressively directed and superbly acted by a terrific cast, this is both a nostalgia-fuelled coming-of-age tale and a genuinely moving drama about making peace with the past.

Rating: 3/6 --
While the dialogue is often hackneyed and full of rushed backstory (not enough flashbacks, evidently), the cinematography excels, particularly the chiaroscuro interiors.

Product Description:
Daniel Craig (CASINO ROYALE) plays a stagnating Hollywood actor, Joe Scott, who's awoken from his stupor when he receives word of his childhood friend's death. Scott is soon bombarbed with memories from his youth in England, and the summer that changed his life forever... Olivia Williams (THE SIXTH SENSE) and Claire Forlani (CSI: NY) co-star in this drama that was also produced by Craig.
Description by Anchor Bay Entertainment:
Daniel Craig delivers a startling performance as Joe Scott, a washed-up Hollywood star adrift in a haze of sex, drugs and squandered fame. But when he receives news of the sudden death of his childhood best friend, Joe flashes back to his younger self (played by Harry Eden of OLIVER TWIST) in his small English seaside village and the summer of innocence and tragedy that would change his life forever. Olivia Williams (THE SIXTH SENSE), Claire Forlani (CSI: NY) and Eve co-star in this powerful drama about love, loss and one man's journey to redemption, executive produced by Daniel Craig and featuring songs by Scott Walker, David Bowie and Roxy Music.
