      Critics Consensus

      Slipstream is a failed experiment; confusing instead of coherent.

      Audience Member I know I'm in the minority, but I honestly thought this film was brilliant. Kind of a non-linear meditation on creativity and the commercialization of creativity and the environment that builds up around that. Both profound and silly at the same time. A little like life. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member More incoherent than a drunk toddler speaking a foreign language. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting and bold stream-of-consciousness film by Anthony Hopkins about a man on the brink of death and the world he envisions in his transition. It's ultimately a bit of a failed attempt though. And this movie is just going to alienate most audiences... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty weird movie -- essentially about losing one's mind, I think, but I cannot tell for certain. And then the very end throws all of that out the window. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Frances H I love films like this one, which push boundaries and can be interpreted in many, many ways, perhaps unique to each viewer. There are so many different types of reality-dreams, imagination, the movies, books, ideas, mental problems, television, illness, approaching death--so many things influence our personal view of reality. But one thing is sure (if anything can be), no one's personal view of reality is the absolute. I can see why Hopkins didn't want anyone else to have final cut over himself on this film--it would alter his reality, and would have utterly spoiled the film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/22/15 Full Review hardy c The only thing worthwhile was seeing that Kevin McCarthy was still alive in 2007. I have no idea what blackmail Hopkins used to get anyone else to work on this...film?? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Alissa Wilkinson Paste Magazine Slipstream meanders into some lucidity by film's end, but it remains difficult to determine if it's a work born of genius or madness. The decision lies with the viewer. Apr 12, 2016 Full Review Melissa Anderson Time Out Rated: 1/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review New York Daily News Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 3, 2007 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Alternately interesting and unwatchable. Feb 29, 2008 Full Review Brandon Fibbs BrandonFibbs.com Slipstream is utterly unwatchable. I hated every minute of it. Rated: 0/10 Feb 28, 2008 Full Review Blake French Filmcritic.com A Hopkins personal vanity project Rated: 3/5 Nov 9, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews
