At Middleton Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Srakumsatic A-maz-ing
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Yvonne Jodi Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
mgamblemad I do not want to spoil the plot in any way, so I'm just going to tell you my thoughts of the performances. Andy Garcia... gave an amazing performance. Vera Farmiga... I can only say WOW. These two really are amazing together in this film. I know this film isn't flashy in any way, and the story may bother some people, but the acting is simply brilliant. Taissa Farmiga and Spencer Lofranco also put in very good performances. I also thought the work of Danielle Garcia and Stephen Borello were performed very well.What I have noticed is that a movie such as this, isn't just the acting though. The writing and directing of this film are also done very well. It was a complete joy to for me to watch.Bottom Line: If you enjoy well Written Dialog; A film that is very well Acted and Directed, with some Romance. You'll love this movie.
gudpaljoey-677-715384 I selected this movie largely because of how much I like Vera Farmiga. I've always considered her an actor that does not get the attention she deserves. I had seen Andy Garcia in a number of pictures, and although not his fault, his work always seemed one-dimensional. The gangster, the cad, etc. I was completely stunned by the chemistry and nuanced performances of the pair in a film that I consider one of the most delightful movie experiences of the last ten years. This picture stood out with a unique take on a mid-life romance that didn't pander to a false, popular conclusion, but rewarded the viewer with a thoughtful and adult ending. The acting by all the players was first rate; the writing and dialog was crisp and real; filming and direction were beautifully done. It was an excellent mix of humor, pathos, and it delivered a life message so subtly that close attention had to be paid. Thanks to all who made this picture. I love you Vera.
MartinHafer "At Middleton" is a frustrating film to watch. While there is so much to like in the movie (especially in the first half), by the time the film is over, I was left with lots of mixed feelings.When the film begins, a father (Andy Garcia) is taking his son (Spencer Lofranco) to visit Middleton College. At the same time, a mother (Vera Farmiga) is also bringing her daughter (Taissa Farmiga) to visit the same school. The parents and teens seem extremely different. George is a rather uptight and rigid surgeon. The son, Conrad, on the other hand is a very normal and nice teen and just wishes his father would relax and let him make his college choice himself. Edith is a free-spirited and rather goofy mom--a sharp contrast to her very driven and self- absorbed daughter, Audrey. In many ways, you might expect the teens to belong to the other parent.During the course of a boring tour of the school, Edith looks for an excuse to leave the tour and let her daughter continue without her--and considering how badly Audrey treats her mom, this might be for the best. The fact that George leaves with her is difficult to believe considering his personality--but he somehow does leave the tour as well. George and Edith set off on a series of adventures as they go where the tour doesn't lead. By the end of the tour, Audrey (who insisted she MUST go to Middleton) has an abrupt change of heart and Conrad finds that this small school might just have something to offer. However, the parents are THE main focus of the film and they start to fall in love--something which doesn't make a lot of logical sense--especially considering what sort of a guy George is. His change of attitude and falling for Edith seems more a contrived plot device than something that might really occur. Having them learn from each other alone would have made more sense--especially since this occurred only during the course of part of a single day.Apart from the illogical romance (especially since BOTH were already married--and I wish they'd both been single since this would have made them much more likable) and a marijuana scene that seemed out of place, the film is very nice. But since the illogical romance is THE key to the movie, this is very problematic and a bit amoral. On the plus side, the dialog is often very witty, the actors did a nice job and the soundtrack is among the best I can recall having heard. By the way, interestingly the mother-daughter pair are, in real life, actually sisters--sisters who are 21 years apart--believe it or not.
saone8995 My favorite film of the year, and I have seen a lot. Oldboy was probably my 2nd favorite... Anyways, I will get back to this movie review now. It is such a beautiful film. Rarely do I feel this way about a movie, but when I do, I completely treasure it and it goes in my list of unforgettable films I shall never forget. I will always remember this one. Thank you everyone whom was involved in this beautifully magnificent motion picture of the year. Vera, you sweet thing you, you are a remarkable actress. The cast was absolutely perfect for this movie. I absolutely loved the fact that taissa and vera played mother and daughter in here. (In case of whoever did not know, vera and taissa are actually sisters) What a treat.
