Aloha

“There ARE times when Aloha doesn’t work — and yet I’m recommending it for its sometimes loony sense of wonder, its trippy spirituality, its brilliant cast and because I seem to be a sap for even the Cameron Crowe movies almost nobody else likes.”

Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times · 75

“Even with its off-balance, overstuffed storytelling, the film maintains a charm and energy that never flags, with brisk pacing and generally engaging performances from its deep-bench cast.”

Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times · 70

“Yes, Aloha is a mess. But messes can be fascinating, and there’s a lot of tenderness and beauty and heartbreak here, too.”

Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald · 63

“Perhaps the energy Crowe could have expended on shaping believable characters went instead to the cultural context.”

A.A. Dowd , The A.V. Club · 58

“Crowe is deft at keeping the various plots spinning, but there are too many of them, and they don’t intersect pleasingly.”
