Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

graphicspittz187 This movie was stupid and wait of time. It was so slow and lame. Nothing went anywhere lol I wish I didn't waste my time. I haven't seen a movie in YEARS that was this worthless

Peter Lorme Yosemite (2015) is a solid coming of age film that goes too far off track. I was really enjoying Yosemite for the first 30 minutes or so. After a while, the film became misguided and lost my interest. The cinematography is nice, and I loved the retro aspect felt throughout. The acting is great. James Franco is good, but he only shows up for the first 20 minutes and then vanishes. But at times, the directing seems vague. Some scenes feel out of place, and the story becomes nebulous. The film is obviously inspired by "Stand By Me", but it lacks the charm and humour. 'Yosemite' is certainly not a bad film. However, it does gradually lose focus,and in the process, loses the audience's interest.

kitcolfort Let me start by saying, I'm glad I didn't pay to see this movie. I found it to watch online and given the rating another website had given it, I went ahead for it thinking that it couldn't be awful. And it wasn't awful - just wasn't good either. Yosemite has effectively blurred the lines of it's acts, there's no distinction between the first, second and third. The direction of the film is awful, to say the least. Instead of having interlacing story lines between three different boys, it blurs them and leaves you asking whose who. The film is supposedly about three boys, unfolding Palo Alto as a mountain lion is apparently loose. The mountain lion isn't even mentioned till three-quarters the way through the movie, and only shows up briefly for one scene, only a body even.Yosemite tries to be an artistic film, when it falls flat in places it shouldn't.

subxerogravity Sometimes Yosemite felt like the equivalent of watching paint dry.It's suppose to create some type of emotion in me, but I did not catch it. despite understanding the story of the tree boys that dominate the movie. But there came a point for me were I just was not emotionally invested enough in what I saw on the screen. I wanted to like it too, but it falls very short of the goal it tries to accomplish. A little too dead pan.It's impressive that putting James Franco on the poster was enough to get this thing released in the tiny theater I saw it in, but it's not entertaining enough as a movie for nothing too happen. it's too real and true to the source material that did not transfer over too well.Maybe works better as the book it was based on. I like Franco's other novel turned movie Palo Alto better
