Critic Reviews

Kyle Smith

The less you know going in, the more you'll enjoy it. Suffice it to say that it's a hugely entertaining thriller disguised as a chick flick. Read full review

M. E. Russell

It's fun junk. And it doesn't satisfy. Dot the I is a weird, pretty film with a dumb script, a skilled cast and a good twist, plus one hot sex scene and one brilliant scene-chew by D'Arcy. Read full review

Michael O'Sullivan

Satisfies and disturbs in just about equal measure. Read full review

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Its trickery might seem cute or clever to viewers who don't take either movies or people very seriously, but to me it recalled cynical "puzzle" films like "Memento" and "Irreversible," with no reason to exist apart from its gimmick. Read full review

Carina Chocano

First-time writer-director Matthew Parkhill prefers to lean on clever plot devices, amp up the roles of the movie's sideline jesters, crank up the static noise and fail to notice that his engaging little romance has broken with reality and veered into hollow pastiche. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Its seductive stylishness is undermined by one narrative twist too many; by the time the last revelation has been unveiled with a "But wait!" flourish, the contrivances have entirely overwhelmed the characters. Read full review

Wesley Morris

A deplorable piece of cynicism whose only point of interest is Gael Garcia Bernal's accent Read full review

If you like indie style movies, you'll like this movie. The critics were much too negative on this one. The story is unique, the acting is good, and the editing is excellent.

The critics were a little too harsh, this wasn't a bad movie. Interesting, twisted and well acted, although a different female actress should have been chosen.
