      Audience Member Smart, sexy, stylish, intelligent, and, ultimately, uplifting. A very strange but worthy find. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member I watched this show years ago but it remains in my mind to this day. So powerful, it's almost a real metaphysical story. I liked its reference to karma and religion. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Eric Harrison Houston Chronicle The movie goes way over the top near the end, but unlike Hollywood films, which would've added violence and a car chase, The Operator's excesses all are in keeping with its theme. Rated: B- Apr 5, 2002 Full Review Eli Sanders Seattle Times This debut film from local writer-director Jon Dichter has an interesting concept, but its execution feels a bit amateurish, especially in the dialogue. Jan 25, 2002 Full Review Jane Sumner Dallas Morning News Except for its excesses and too-easy end, Mr. Dichter's original script takes us into Coen country.
