Critic Reviews

David Rooney

This oddball tale of a small-town gangster's troubled girlfriend hovers uncertainly on the edge of an absurdist universe. Read full review

Noel Murray

Looks and sounds better than the average indie film debut. Read full review

Ben Kenigsberg

First-time writer-director Richard Ledes's mystical tone and pervasive swipes from David Lynch tend to suffocate his satire, and stunt casting doesn't help. Read full review

Jack Mathews

Director-writer Richard Ledes shows better command of 1950s period atmosphere than he does of either his subject or his cast. Read full review

Carina Chocano

The anesthetized, deadpan performances -- except for Meat Loaf as Anna's gangster boyfriend, who's so over-the-top it appears he stumbled in from another movie -- and dull storytelling result in an unsuccessful mix of screwball comedy, melodrama and noir. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Writer-director Richard Ledes' dreadfully misconceived, pitch-black, film-noir comedy seeks to find the humor in the post-WWII mental hygiene boom, and the result is way off target. Read full review

Lawrence Van Gelder

With its heavy symbolism and awkward, lurching pace, A Hole in One leaves viewers with little more than the vague conviction - which I think I already had going in - that falling in love is better than an ice pick to the brain. Read full review
