Critic Reviews
I liked Flirt better than any of Hartley's films since "Trust." The playfulness he shows here seems better integrated, more meaningful, than the strange narrative whimsies of 1992's "Simple Men" or 1994's "Amateur." [08 Nov 1996]
It's pretty off-handed, more a theory of a movie than a movie itself. [05 Oct 1996]
Flirt has its moments, and Ewell and Nikaidoh are auspicious additions to the Hartley rep company. But Flirt will appeal mostly to Hartley completists. [23 Aug 1996]
It is a disappointment - just intermittently engaging, and lacking the cohesion of his best efforts, it seems less a fully realized feature than a film-school foible. [30 Aug 1996]
Hal Hartley fans, Flirt may be too slight and schematic. [13 Aug 1996]
The stories are markedly different, but the acting seems remote and hollow, as if no one believes in what they're doing. [18 Oct 1996]
Flirt fails because the basic story isn't very good and its retelling adds only incidental insights. [11 Oct 1996]
