Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Voyager starts in mystery, and intrigues us. It continues with intelligence, and absorbs us. And then it ends in melodrama, and disappoints us. Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Vanessa Letts The Spectator The whole thing came over as the worst kind of middle-aged fantasy. Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Only bearable for throwing out a number of alluring literary ideas, otherwise it's bogged down by an overload of symbolism. Rated: C+ Sep 14, 2008 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jul 5, 2005 Full Review Caffeinated Clint Film Threat Highly entertaining, Incredibly moving Rated: 3/5 May 6, 2005 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice A mesmerizing interpretation of a Max Frisch novel about a globe-trotting engineer.

Audience Member The futility of our rational plans - the surprises of life just around the corner - the impossibility of true love, or the late recognition what it would have been. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Read the book over 20 years ago, and saw the movie a couple of years after that (but had forgotten about it until I watched it again tonight). Very good cast, but the story moves a bit slowly at times. As I read the book such a long time ago, it's impossible for me to comment now on the quality of the adaptation, but I think it's pretty close, to what I thought was a creepy story back then! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Un sympathique roman-photo mais pas plus. Bien que l'histoire lorgne vers la tragedie grecque, les enjeux dramatiques sont assez faibles puisque l'on comprend très vite où tout cela va se terminer. Une confrontation un peu expediee et decevante d'ailleurs. J'ai neanmoins envie de lire le roman car le personnage principal desabuse, obsede par les coïncidences et qui se laisse porter où elles le mènent, m'a bien plu. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Bearable for throwing out a number of alluring literary ideas, otherwise it's bogged down by an overload of symbolism. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Creepy... I read the book years ago and when I saw my local library had the movie version of it I wanted to see it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Greek Tragedy meets Film Noir A Man on a Voyage which is full of in which he can avoid his Bitter Destiny the Cinematography, Pictures of the Places of his Travel and the Modern Classical Music Soundtrack are grandious Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
