[Director] Boe's technique has more flash than passion. Go to Full Review

Although the film, much like its protagonist and his piano playing, lacks a certain passion, its stylistic structure and execution are coolly flawless. Go to Full Review

In Allegro, the past is a shadowy night town whose geography is continually rearranging itself. Go to Full Review
Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film 07/27/2009
4/5
Part romance, part animation, part sci-fi thriller - Boe uses any and every tool he can get his hands on to tell this tale of emotional isolation and resolution. Go to Full Review
Maitland McDonagh TV Guide 05/09/2007
3/4
Spare, elegant and tailor-made for intense discussions over dark coffee, Boe's film is a slily bold and delightfully inventive variation on an age-old theme. Go to Full Review

02/26/2013 The director's follow-up to brilliant Reconstruction, unfortunately, fails to deliver. It's very similar in style, but lacks in substance. While the debut feature was delightfully cryptic and featured great chemistry between the leads, this movie has neither. Perhaps it still could have been a great short - it really feels like a mediocre Twilight Zone episode stretched into numbingly long 90 minutes. See more 02/03/2013 Overly pretentious, convoluted, slow and boring. See more 01/29/2013 I suppose the aesthetics of the film are unique in that they aren't easily forgotten, but overall the movie seemed rather inconsistent to me. The narration seemed out of place. I would watch it again out of curiosity, but I don't look back on it with very fond of memories. See more 10/18/2012 I don't get convinced by Helena Christensen or their love, which is a pretty important part of the film, but apart from that, the dialogues and little details are quite genious See more 05/10/2010 Maybe Danish cinema is not my cup of tea. See more 04/28/2010 Who knew? Helena Christensen can act! Granted, she's barely in the film but she brings an understated elegance and melancholy to her character. If you liked "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," this movie is for you as the plots are curiously similar. See more Read all reviews
