Lael Loewenstein Variety 07/06/2010
An uneven, at times absorbing portrait of four couples struggling to define their relationships. Go to Full Review
Andrew Sarris Observer 11/29/2001
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. Go to Full Review
Gene Seymour Newsday 11/16/2001
The story, such as it is, is hackneyed mush of the most contrived and patronizing kind. Go to Full Review

Somewhere buried deep lurks a potentially interesting film. Go to Full Review
Bruce Feld Film Journal International 12/09/2001
It is like an anthology that offers only one story that clicks. Go to Full Review
MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher 11/21/2001
We grownups need more of this kind of silly, sweet, knowing romantic movie. Go to Full Review

06/07/2013 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.

See more 02/07/2009 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. See more 02/19/2006 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. See more Read all reviews
