I got dragged to see this by the Missus - to my great surprise, I really enjoyed it. This is my first time writing a comment on a movie. It's funny... nd inspiring at the same time. I could actually see what was going on in people's minds. All the women in the theatre went nuts over the movie - probably half the guys too. It was great to see characters that behaved like REAL PEOPLE. I could see a little bit of myself in each one. I came out of the theatre feeling really good - doesn't happen very often. The silences are great - they really work. Highly recommend this to people.Goo see it! Full Review

The central story, in which Helms has to make up his mind whether to attend his sister's funeral, is too limited a conflict to hang a movie on. Ultimately, audiences will have to satisfy themselves with the collective presence of these actors and the movie's obviously good-hearted intentions.Full Review
Deeply odd films are often deeply personal ones, and Constellation, a dazed, inchoate drama about a mixed-race Alabama family, tells a story that's clearly close to the heart of writer-director Jordan Walker-Pearlman.Full Review
Only Williams makes any real emotional connection: I'm not sure I'd call his performance good, but there's something fascinating about seeing the man once heralded as "the black Clark Gable" three decades removed from heartthrob status, heavy and sullen-looking, weighed down by the burdens of time and age.Full Review
There are effective scenes and powerful performances scattered among long sequences in which various members of the family gaze into space as they contemplate the burden of the past, walk aimlessly through Atlanta or have odd encounters with strangers.Full Review
