      Audience Member i so saw the ending coming, and it sucks like a hoover, the rest of it was interesting though Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Throw a card at that fool! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting 70s piece with two writers as the main characters. Not only did it make me daydream again about being Lorraine Hansberry in a flat on the upper West side in the 1950s, but it actually made me think that Snoop Dog might really be serious about his acting career... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member really i didnt know about this movie untill soon wow what a great movie and performing from snoop and dylan ..... great Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Now this is a movie that tries to be artistic but fails to be even a close one. Simply the movie is about two writers and how they become enemies of eachother. The movie is really boring and if you are not fully awake do not watch it because you will fell sleep. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a terrible flick. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter Alternately tedious and bombastic, the film never achieves a consistent tone, and the characters and situations, while seemingly played on a realistic level, are neither remotely credible nor satisfyingly surreal. Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Kyle Smith New York Post Snoop Dogg and Bernard Malamud don't often pop up in the same sentence, but they make an effective combination in a quiet little indie called The Tenants. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 3, 2006 Full Review Jack Mathews New York Daily News Unremittingly bleak and hopelessly outdated. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 3, 2006 Full Review Kam Williams DallasBlack.com The stripped-down production looks more like a play than a movie, but all the actors do a decent job with a script which turns increasingly preposterous at every turn. Rated: 3/4 May 20, 2007 Full Review Doris Toumarkine Film Journal International There's little that's right about The Tenants. Mar 1, 2007 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a thoroughly dated and hopelessly irrelevant piece of work... Rated: 1/4 Mar 18, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews
