It shows huge promise -- its mystery, its patient pace and its eerie resonance sometimes transcend its didactics. Go to Full Review

There's a pleasing mood to "Man Facing Southeast" that makes you want to like it. But the story is so sluggish and takes such illogical twists that you give up. Go to Full Review

Fer S May 5 REALLY good movie. I just did not like very much how the romance was introduced. It seemed rushed. Also the music was too loud at times. See more Rita R 07/19/2023 Realmente una película que merece ser vista, ilógica pero linda ¿ El hombre es malo porque no tiene empatía ? ¿ O bueno porque no tiene deseos ? See more Robert A 12/29/2021 When I first saw this movie a year after it came out I was mesmerized how it slowlydrew me in and built to such a totally satisfying experience. Although some may find the pace and editing too slow and uneven, the sheer brilliance of the story and the magic purity of all the actors was what movie making is all about. There's not a single blue screen or high tech moment. It's just authentic, compelling story telling. Sure there are contradictions and unanswered questions,but like life itself, it just makes this film even more memorable See more 07/24/2019 slow moving anti climatic bore See more 08/08/2013 K-Pax shamefully ripped this off and didn't deserve to tie it's shoes. See more 11/11/2012 All time favorite movie of mine. Very much overlooked. See more Read all reviews
