Dennis Harvey Variety Amnesia: The James Brighton Enigma ekes middling results from a fascinating storyline. Jun 28, 2006 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall A little clunky and stiff, although the sheer outrageousness of the central puzzle keeps us riveted. Rated: 3/5 Apr 4, 2007 Full Review James Wegg JWR ... a multi-layered film that goes far beyond narrative and deep into the universal human conundrums of purpose, pain and pride. Rated: 4.5/5 Jun 28, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Interesting idea..poorly executed. I wasn't into it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Strange movie. One min English, next min French. Do Canadians really speak like this cause it would really piss me off. Very slow and only the last 15mins were of any importance. Boo Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesante estudio sobre un amnesico que lo unico que recuerda es que era gay y que supuestamente se llama James. La investigacion nos va llevando a un intenso desenlace que le da una nueva definicion a la palabra ironia. Vale la pena. (texto intencionalmente sin acentos). Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Complete waste of time. Very disappointed. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting enough. The low budget does show. Nice story apparently based on real events, but seems to lack polish. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Solid mystery that is not predictable. For the most part the performances are good and it?s believably presented. Fine score, interesting plot turns. It held my interest throughout.
