Lauren Ambrose shines in this offbeat family drama about a high school graduate, Evie (Ambrose), blowing a series of college-admission interviews, embracing loneliness, and giving mixed signals to a boy (Fran Kranz) who has loved her since grade school. Meanwhile, Evie's distracted mother, Martha (Amy Madigan), prepares to present her other daughter, Emily (Taylor Roberts), a retarded savant, to the world as a wunderkind poet (the poems are actually Evie's) while her dad, Harry (John Savage), an investment banker, never emerges from his basement hobby room. The imaginative story, based on a play by Dawn O'Leary (who wrote the adapted screenplay), is slightly strained within the parameters of a feature film. But Admissions is graced by a number of strong, memorable individual scenes and some sensitive, deeply touching performances, including Christopher Lloyd's work as a remote, lonely teacher briefly aroused by Martha's quixotic mission to unveil Emily's miraculous lyricism. --Tom Keogh

"Admissions" was a bit of a stretch. Although the performances were top notch the basic credibility was difficult to believe. The would-be boyfriend instantly saw through the main ruse, why wouldn't everyone else? But then he was the one chasing after her when "damaged goods" to describe her would be too generous. Why in the world would he want to subject himself to a person as obviously unbalanced as she was? There were too many things like those in logic, and in characters for me - I don't want ... Read More

*****
I enjoyed this complex movie about a family, about family love. It is written from the perspective of a daughter, Evie, and is beautiful. Themes are adult and inappropriate for children; however, for mature adults, the material is rich, not offensive, and poignant. This movie is special because although it is written from Evie's perspectice, it is easy to understand her mother's (played by Amy Madigan) perspective, that of her sister, young boyfriend, and even husband.

Maybe the most perplexing thing in the world to me is how people are writing positive reviews of this film. The story line is horrendous and the acting is worse.
What was Christopher Lloyd thinking signing up to play along side these terrible actors. I mean the girl who plays the idiot savant may not even know what that is - they just picked the first actress who wanted the job and said "repeat what Lauren Ambrose says and try and act dim witted....and....ACTION" - she is really that bad. ...

We have a character named Evie. Evie just wants to be a good person. She's nice, friendly, smiles often, but is strangely brutally honest. Evie also has a secret. Her idiot-savant sister has been reciting original poetry, which is getting the community excited about the sister writing. Unfortunately, it's Evie's poetry. While their mother starts being happy again and the boy next door shows his interest in Evie, Evie just tries to figure out what she really wants to do.

Admissions is a sweet movie with a serious tone. Ambrose is great (as always). Llyod who I usually like, is a little awkward in his role. Overall it's an interesting and enjoyable movie.
