Krystal (2013)
Upon meeting the woman of his dreams--an ex-hooker-stripper-junkie-alcoholic with a sixteen year old son in a wheelchair--Taylor pretends to be in AA to try and woo her. His fabulously talented family (who perhaps actually belong in AA) not surprisingly have a thing or two to say about Taylor falling for this beguiling and unpredictable woman.

Krystal is unfortunately a half-assed attempt at a dramedy and lacks the self-awareness to acknowledge its own absurdity.

Where does one even begin with a movie like this?

A talented cast in top form can't salvage this Southern Gothic serio-comedy.
April 20, 2018
What starts out as a sincere portrait of addiction and recovery is undermined by aggressively broad comedy.

"Krystal" feels chaotic and thin, like a pilot that was also forced to be a series finale.

Krystal is as much of a head-scratcher as described, and a complete hodgepodge of ideas, tones, and ponderous dialogue about life.
April 11, 2018
This is the sort of determinedly quirky would-be comedy that induces far more cringes than laughs.
April 12, 2018
So baffling that it must be appreciated at least for its ability to defy all logic.
April 18, 2018
Beneath the hideously feigned southern charm of "Krystal" is a picture so averse to any sense of sincerity or meaningful character development that the end product is nothing more than a naval-gazing attempt at madcap humor and aw-shucks romance.
April 12, 2018
Too forced, chaotic and randomly eccentric to make for a fully engaging and cohesive emotional experience.
April 11, 2018
Nearly everything these characters do goes beyond the realm of common sense.

Krystal feels like the result of an elaborate blunder wherein three different scripts were accidentally shuffled together and then - presumably through a series of hijinks - the director accidentally shot it all straight through.
