      Audience Member felt like i had a lobotamy before i watched this. the narrative is weak and way to loose. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review walter m [font=Century Gothic]"A Hole in One" takes place in 1953 in the small hamlet of Ice Town where Anna(Michelle Williams) fears she is losing her mind after witnessing the murder of a friend by her mobster boyfriend(Meat Loaf Aday). She feels that a lobotomy will solve her problems, as demonstrated by Dr. Ashton(Bill Raymond) as part of the local Mental Health Week. As shown, the Trans-Orbital Lobotomy is a simple procedure performed with an ice pick...[/font] [font=Century Gothic][/font] [font=Century Gothic]"A Hole in One" is a victory of design over any kind of coherence. There are at least three or four separate elements to this movie that never come together. The most interesting of which are the mental health issues and lobotomy but that is definitely from a historical perspective. And the movie misses a valuable opportunity to link the infamous procedure to the conformity of the 1950's.[/font] Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Carina Chocano Los Angeles Times A Hole in One aspires to the Sirkian social satire of Todd Haynes' Far From Heaven, but the result is closer to a Coen brothers film with all the funny parts removed. Rated: 2/5 May 13, 2005 Full Review Lou Lumenick New York Post Things play out differently than expected, though not in any particularly interesting or entertaining way. Rated: 1.5/4 May 10, 2005 Full Review Dana Stevens New York Times With its heavy symbolism and awkward, lurching pace, A Hole in One leaves viewers with little more than the vague conviction that falling in love is better than an ice pick to the brain. Rated: 2/5 May 6, 2005 Full Review Andy Klein Los Angeles CityBeat Interesting but, in the long run, aimless. May 13, 2005 Full Review Kim Morgan L.A. Weekly Its overindulgence in pseudo-David Lynch stylistics provides yet another distraction from a potentially intriguing story. May 12, 2005 Full Review Ken Fox TV Guide Dreadfully misconceived.
