Roger Ebert, RogerEbert.com: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "While well-made and acted, it lacks the gathering power of the other [multi-character, multi-story] films that I've mentioned -- 'Crash,' 'Magnolia,' 'Short Cuts.' " (Read the full review...) 688 words, 12/02/11
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times: GOOD "Some fine performances and an embrace of understatement make Matthew Leutwyler's oddly titled 'Answers to Nothing' a respectable entry in the multiple-stories-that-interlock genre." (Read the full review...) 231 words, 12/02/11 Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: WEAK (cg) "...an apt title that recalls lesser ensembles like 'Playing By Heart' while aiming for 'Grand Canyon'..." (Read the full review...) 200 words, 12/02/11 Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times/Chicago Tribune: MODERATE "...the strong cast helps keep things watchable. But it can never fully surmount an overlong, largely underwhelming script..." (Read the full review...) 246 words, 12/02/11 Lou Lumenick, New York Post: POOR (cg) "A root canal seems a more pleasurable way to pass two hours than this interminable vanity knockoff of 'Traffic' about troubled Angelenos." (Read the full review...) 127 words, 12/02/11 Rafer Guzman, New York Newsday: POOR (cg) "Another 'Crash' wannabe that combines several barely related characters and ideas into one long, disjointed mess." (Read the full review...) 337 words, 12/02/11 Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "While well-made and acted, it lacks the gathering power of the other [multi-character, multi-story] films that I've mentioned -- 'Crash,' 'Magnolia,' 'Short Cuts.' " (Read the full review...) 688 words, 12/02/11 Aaron Hillis, Village Voice/LA Weekly: POOR "...rips off Paul Haggis wholesale with another goddamn interwoven ensemble of disparate, desperate Angelinos crashing into one another..." (Read the full review...) 199 words, 11/30/11
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: POOR (cg) "Even in the best ensembles, there's always a weak character, someone we're relieved to get away from so that we can get back to the people who interest us. Here, we can't wait to get away from pretty much all of them." (Read the full review...) 397 words, 12/02/11 Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: POOR (cg) "None of what we see is at all credible... It's not that I don't think that there's such a thing as a sexy blond LAPD detective. I just..." (Read the full review...) 493 words, 12/02/11 Amy Biancolli, San Francisco Chronicle: POOR (cg) "When it isn't being diligently gloomy, it's being obvious. When it isn't being obvious, it's being sneaky, and when it isn't being sneaky, it's marching toward a climax of B-movie violence, stupidity and nuttiness..."

Aaron Hillis, Village Voice/LA Weekly: POOR "...rips off Paul Haggis wholesale with another goddamn interwoven ensemble of disparate, desperate Angelinos crashing into one another..." (Read the full review...) 199 words, 11/30/11 Peter Keough, Boston Phoenix: WEAK (cg) "The baleful influence of Paul Haggis's multi-narrative Oscar-winner 'Crash' (2004) continues with Matthew Leutwyler's trite contraption." (Read the full review...) 143 words, 12/01/11 Nathan Rabin, AV Club: WEAK (cg) "...thinly drawn characters orbit one another like fading satellites... It doesn't build to a climax so much as it winds down with a halfhearted shrug and a few feeble false shots of hope." (Read the full review...) 354 words, 12/01/11 Alison Willmore, Movieline: WEAK (cg) "A 'Short Cuts' full of self-pitying sociopaths... follows its characters toward a succession of increasingly queasy conclusions it tries to pass off as heartfelt and human." (Read the full review...) 874 words, 12/01/11 R. Kurt Osenlund, Slant: POOR (cg) "...tasteless and out of touch right down to its foundation, embarrassingly unaware that 'Crash'-like, hyperlink narratives went out with bird-flu paranoia."

Dennis Harvey, Daily Variety: GOOD "...somber drama is well crafted and watchable.... characters in crisis maintain interest over a fairly long but well-paced narrative haul."
