The Parts You Lose

Paul and young Danny Murphy are terrific together, with Paul playing a wounded bear growling his lines and Murphy delivering a fully realized performance.

It's a premise in search of a plot.

Every frame is filled with significant, illuminating details.

The Parts You Lose somehow manages to be both unmoving and tension-free, wasting the talents of several notable actors in the process.

The Parts You Lose captures the wintry isolation of North Dakota well, and the actors involved ensure that it's never unwatchable. Yet this is the worst kind of bad movie: a film with absolutely nothing to say.

Although it is missing a little more, The Parts You Lose is honest and simple. [Full Review in Spanish]

Strong emotions are meant to be the result. But all I felt was a little bored mixed with disinterested. Nothing really drew you in.

It's a modest character study that's strength lies in the smaller, intimate moments, even if the suspense eventually tapers off.

A slow but deep film, with extraordinary performances. [Full review in Spanish]
