Emanuel Levy Variety This wanbabe noir is frustrating due to the meandering nature of the pretentious, riddle-like script and lethargic, incompetent direction of Paul Auster in his solo directorial debut Rated: D Nov 15, 2006 Full Review Jake Euker Filmcritic.com Rated: 1/5 Mar 8, 2004 Full Review Shannon J. Harvey Sunday Times (Australia) Rated: 1/5 Feb 4, 2003 Full Review David Sterritt Film Scouts Less spellbinding than it wants to be, losing its energy and occasionally its brains in long passages of surprisingly sentimental schmaltz. Apr 17, 2002 Full Review Michael W. Phillips, Jr. Goatdog's Movies Right up to the end, which was a lousy cheat ending, I was entranced by the story and the characters. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 28, 2002 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Whatever. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Read all reviews

Paul R Such an amazing cast and yet quite possibly the worst film I have ever seen. Keitel's first line was a painful sign this was going to go nowhere. His second confirmed it. Ed Wood was a much better writer. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Audience Member Although good actors and some nice intuition, the movie lacks substance, shows an exaggerated romanticism and finally builds an excessively fantastic plot, favoring literary invention over cinematographic construction, which should instead be the center of the work. I saw the movie twice: for the first time when it came out in theaters and then on video twenty years later, because I didn't remember anything, except the faces of the actors, a bit of music and the atmosphere of New York in the 90s. Anyway, if you need something easy, it could be a nice pastime to see it just once, in case you like those actors. Here Dafoe is the best one. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Between 2 and 2.5 stars. The story tells you feelings among characters but, in the global, the plot looks just a not well-worked excuse to display them. At the end, everythings looks quite artifitial and with little meaning, and the expressions achieved are not enough to compensate them. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member No make sense. Make Blobbo headblob hurt. Life too short! Not waste here! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review carley e I swear I saw this movie several years ago and I thought I liked it, but watching it again today, I was like -- what was I thinking!? What a terrible waste of time. Yuck. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Another pleasantly odd Paul Auster flick. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
