- And yet, despite its predictability and other conspicuous flaws, “Ithaca” is surprisingly successful in fits and starts when it comes to sustaining interest and empathy, thanks partly to Ryan’s ability to subtly yet vividly evoke particulars of time and place on an indie-movie budget, and largely because of some compelling performances in lead and secondary roles.

Nov 9, 2015 · A heartfelt yet sodden directorial debut by Meg Ryan, Ithaca is wordy and static. Saroyan’s novel was a sharp smear on the fragility of life in a world of wild extremes and shifting circumstances.
Overall, a good movie that is worth seeing, but you spend the entire time waiting for one thing to happen and it ultimately distracts you from the rest of the movie. I give this a B-. 15 out of 18 found this helpful.
