Chris Vognar Dallas Morning News Fellini came close to painting his thoughts directly onto the screen. Born Liar honors this approach by putting lyricism ahead of clarity. You get the feeling that the maestro would appreciate the results. Rated: B+ Jul 24, 2003 Full Review Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle Shockingly unilluminating, even dull. Rated: 1.5/5 Jul 20, 2003 Full Review Wesley Morris Boston Globe Pettigrew's movie functions nicely as a posthumous couch trip, with Fellini explaining the soulful puppetry of his art without pulling the curtain up far enough to let you catch him pulling the strings. Rated: 3/4 Jul 11, 2003 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com Rated: 4/5 Apr 9, 2008 Full Review John A.
