Lael Loewenstein Variety An uneven, at times absorbing portrait of four couples struggling to define their relationships. Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel It's a banal little indie ensemble comedy. Rated: 2/5 Mar 22, 2002 Full Review Andrew Sarris Observer It's partly the characters and partly the performers who are responsible for generating more feelings in the afterlife than the film's Weehawken Six achieve in here and now. Nov 29, 2001 Full Review Michael Dequina Film Threat Somewhere buried deep within Linda Yellen's The Simian Line lurks a potentially interesting film. Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 8, 2002 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Somewhere buried deep lurks a potentially interesting film. Rated: 2/4 Jan 3, 2002 Full Review Bruce Feld Film Journal International It is like an anthology that offers only one story that clicks. Dec 9, 2001 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A refreshing take on the fragility of human relationships. "The Simian Line" reveals the ease in which we question the motives and thoughts of our loved ones, in this case by the suggestion of a supernatural reader, and their commitments to us. With humor sprinkled throughout the plot, and the diversity of relationships it deals with - ultimately, "The Simian Line" is a film without aesthetic or topical redundancies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Was I supposed to enjoy this more, it seemed like I was supposed to but I just had a huge time sitting through it and I admit i didn't pay much attention to the movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a fun story. The dialog annoyed me a little. There's a lot of talking but a lot of the time it doesn't feel important. Every once in a while the narrator becomes the voice of what a person is thinking and it feels a little out of place. It felt like what they were saying didn't matter. Over all it feels sort of like a hallmark movie. I guessed the ending. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Offbeat little film has it's moments and a wonderful cast, but ultimately doesn't work as a whole. It tackles too many story lines and found the editing to be distracting. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
