Critic Reviews for Between the Lines
All Critics (15) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (14) | Rotten (1)
Between the Lines is barely about a newspaper at all, more about a bunch of youngish people whose energies are running out, as American counterculture itself had run their course, with the '80s and its hard-nosed principles about to kick in.
For most of its talky running time, Between the Lines is a hangout film in which too few of the characters are good company.
It'll make you miss the storied Phoenix that much more...
Imagine if you dropped the cast of Return of the Secaucus Seven into a workplace drama, and you have a good sense of the feel of this small but worthy movie.
Joan Micklin Silver, who also directed Hester Street, has fashioned a film so close to home that it will be hard for any journalist to be disassociated from it.
Part journalism drama, part sex comedy, Between the Lines is an overlooked gem that chronicles the Boomer slide from counterculture to complacency.
