      steve d Rotten Tomatoes is correct The film drags, you are always 3 steps ahead of the script and there is not one drop of humor. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Screwy is as screwy do Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved how she ran Metaphors together, & somehow they worked Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member What were they thinking when they made this movie? There's not enough action in this to make it an action movie, not enough character development to make it a character movie, not enough fun to make it a comedy. It's barely got enough plot to make it a movie at all, but only barely. The dialogues are mostly tedious, the malapropisms are not funny, and the red herrings are fishy. Emily Watson gets a couple of points for cuteness, but cuteness doesn't make a movie. A major disappointment. Alan Rudolph has done much better than this. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member ** (out of four) The film idea probably looked much better on script paper than on the big screen. Emily Watson is a quirky detective in Alan Rudolph's madcaper film. Though the plot is plodding, the most annoying element is having the lead character talk in backward riddles. Some are funny. Most are not. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member What was this unfunny crapola? Only the phrase turns were funny, but could have been so much more in capable hands. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Gavin Smith Film Comment Magazine Alan Rudolph's Trixie is a delightful mystery/conspiracy thriller genre pastiche, full of his customary inversions, mirrorings, and visual mischief. Apr 10, 2018 Full Review Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: D Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Emanuel Levy Variety Despite a star cast (Nick Nolte, Emily Watson), Rudolph's comedy-mystery is a minor, trivial film that tries to be whimsical but lacks humor or fresh angle on the Hollywood's cherished genres of noir and screwball. Rated: C- Dec 31, 2006 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com Rated: 3/5 Nov 4, 2007 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 3/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Michael Szymanski International Press Academy Rated: 4/5 Oct 6, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
