What critics are saying about Grosse Pointe Blank

Grosse Pointe Blank gets it. My third time watching it and I love the whole thing more every time. It's kind of a preposterous premise, but the more far-fetched pieces elevate the emotional reality of Blank's return. Ultimately we have an impossible time collecting ourselves and communicating that collection to someone else.

When you reconnect with the people you knew as a late-stage child, you come to grips with the changes you've experienced — 10 years pass all at.
