   Critics consensus American Pastoral finds debuting director Ewan McGregor's reach exceeding its grasp with a well-intentioned Philip Roth adaptation that retains the form, but little of the function, of its source material. More reviews on Rotten Tomatoes

   Is American Pastoral a good movie?

   • There are plenty of good scenes, but ultimately American Pastoral is less than the sum of its admirable parts. The story is meant to capture an American event through one man's misadventures, but the overall effect is of a painful melodrama. Quickly dissolves into contrived drama and uneven and skewed character motivations.

   Was 'American Pastoral' a misread?

   • “American Pastoral” is a staggering misfire on two discrete levels. As an adaptation of the 1997 novel by Philip Roth, it is lead-footed and inept. The screenplay, by John Romano, treats the narrative in a way that strongly suggests what I hope was a willful misreading of the book.

   Is American Pastoral based on a true story?

   • That's the situation in the drama "American Pastoral" (R, 2:06). The script is by John Romano, based on the 1997 novel of the same name by Philip Roth, who based his main character on a real person – with some embellishments. And what a character Roth created! The Swede seemed to have it all!

   Is American Pastoral a good book?

   • Roth is an author that many have deemed unadaptable, but American Pastoral gets more right than it gets wrong. This should be applauded. American Pastoral has two things going for it: Pitch perfect casting and the strength of the source material.

   Is 'American Pastoral' worth watching?

   • On more superficial level, "American Pastoral" can be watched just as a family drama set in 1950-60's USA. This way, it's a functional if uneasy viewing which makes you fathom something bigger lurking somewhere around the corner but not quite appreciate it fully.
