Trouble in Mind is a pleasure for the senses and the mind.

Trouble in Mind finally locates a filmic universe for Rudolph’s artificial-world gifts. He’s never seemed so at home.

Alan Rudolph wrote and directed it and is plainly a man who knows and loves movies. The trouble is he knows and loves too many of them.

How seriously you take this conceit will determine your response to this poised, rather precious movie. It is unquestionably the work of a sophisticated imagination.

Marianne Faithfull's swoony, croony title track carries this bit of glorious weirdness into its own offbeat glory

Rated: 3.5/5

The mystical mood piece is enveloped in a constant mist seemingly emanating from the 1940s.

This could very well be one of the worst movies ever made ,they say the movie (the room) is the worst movie ever made ,i beg to differ at least in that movie ,you would be unintentionally laughing ,not here ,there is actually quite a talented cast here ,and all must be incredibly embarassed,especially peter fonda ,what the director made him do was so unjustfied it makes me cringe to think about it ,this movie is akin ,to driving down the road and on the otherside of the highway is a fatal accident ,and you slow down to see if you can see a dead body ,dont do it ,its mangled ,i would be scared to ever try to watch another alan rudolph film ,if you dont believe me ,that this could be the worst movie ever made ,watch it! I dare you ,, thats right !i dare you , ,i double dare you !!!

Well done but a bit too depressing for me.

Strange names, weird clothing, wrong auxiliary verbs all over the place: the most interesting question to ask ourselves at the end of the movie is we are in a dystopian future, or just normal plain eighties. Either way loved this strange new noir, and I don't even know exactly why. Maybe for some great quotes like this one: "I was the type of kid my mum told me not to play with". I am not sure it deserves four stars, but that is what I'll give! Loved the atmosphere.
