  1. In the end the film has absolutely nothing to say.
  2. Amateurish performances from nonprofessional actors undermine this ultra-low-budget crime drama.

    Through Carax's eyes, even squalor looks fabulous.
  3. It has the air of a particularly accomplished student film, by a student whose philosophical concerns outweigh his interest in narrative filmmaking.

    A superb performance from Torreton, easily one of the finest actors working in France today.
  4. The film's tone is hard to pin down, especially with the actors dubbed flatly into English.
  5. Fiore captures various artists horsing around with groupies, smoking dope and hanging out backstage, and cuts the material together in the kinetic but meaningless manner of MTV promos.
  6. Uncomfortable hodgepodge of poignant fantasy, showbiz satire and crime thriller.

    The acting is superb.
  7. If Reeves weren't onboard this picture would have gone straight to video.
  8. A rapper doesn't make the story fresh.

    A misconceived roundelay that crosses the thin line dividing gross-but-funny from just plain gross.

    Holding nothing back, Walters is, once again, remarkable.

    Kurosawa's farewell film is full of sentiment, tears, toasts and songs.
  9. This convoluted, time and continent-tripping tale is heavy on the adolescent angst and swoony romanticism.

    A wildly entertaining detective thriller that succeeds entirely on its own terms.

    The kind of film only a mother could really love.
  13. Clearly Phish's appeal is fundamentally experiential, and the experience doesn't lend itself to being captured on film.

    Dazzlingly colorful.
  14. A romantic comedy whose sour take on romance never manages to be comic.
  15. Much better than you'd expect, largely thanks to an extremely game cast.
  16. Ambles to a surprisingly affecting conclusion, almost despite itself.

    Not everyone will be comfortable with a story that's as geared toward recruitment as any Army film, be it God's or Uncle Sam's.
