 "It's all a bit under-sketched, with the flashback sequences failing to provide any dramatic thrust or to adequately fill out the picture of the film's main character..." |

 "...a film that's more informative than its contemporaries, and admirably wide ranging in its focus, but one that often lacks their immediacy." |

 "...reasonably gripping.... Essentially a paper-thin, unremarkable, but not unentertaining piece of semi-high-toned genre filmmaking..." |

 "Cassavetes's pastiche follows lonely bloodsucker Djuna (Josephine de la Baume) as she whiles away her existence in an upstate New York mansion..." |

 "An appealingly off-the-cuff chamber piece... issues are confronted head-on, but true to the film's conception of life in flux, a definitive resolution is smartly rejected." |

 "...while the film does deliver some strong comic turns, far too much time is spent watching an inactive Gil Kofman whining about his lot..." |

"A trashy vampire flick in art film drag, the movie satisfies on neither level.... simple, poorly acted.... The sex scenes are hot." |

 "...graceless, intellectually bankrupt... Mann proves that the generation(s) he portrays indeed have little more to say than the faltering utterance indicated by the film's title..." |

 "Fung's pop-up graphics and jazzy fight scenes feel part of an unwieldy mix in which the director just throws whatever half-baked conceits up on the screen he feels like." |

 "In Salman Rushdie's 1981 Booker Prize-winning novel, the personal is political, but too often in Deepa Meetha's screen version, the personal is just personal." |

"A tale of comic absurdity... details both the severe cultural differences and the sense of paranoia on the set that make filming a near impossibility." |

 "Bahrani offers up a somewhat confused film that alternates between business-world morality play, family drama, and portrait of a local community... a messy stew." |

 "Poor Elliot Gould. The once venerable actor has been reduced to playing nothing but crotchety old men -- and in this case, homophobic ones at that." |

"Gould's whining in what is otherwise a passable rom-com leaves a bad taste.... a blinkered suburban viewpoint becomes inscribed in the film itself..." |

 "...handsome if uninvolving.... While its restraint is in many ways admirable, it proves to be the film's failing, as understatement gives way at last to unaffecting drama." |

 "Spinning a hypnotic, repetitive web of sound and images, Korine crafts a vision, not an argument, but a no less beguilingly weird (and occasionally repulsive) one at that." |

 "Richard Robbins delights in dotting his screen with bursts of color, from a shimmering orange dress to the deep purple of a pen cap... shaped by anecdotal brevity..." |

"...the stories of the unfortunate children profiled feel like a fit expression of hope against a backdrop of misery.... often charmingly modest." |

 "...has enough tastefully downplayed luridness, sufficiently interesting, if not overly complex, characters, and eye-grabbing cinematography..." |

Poor |
 "...strikes the worst possible balance, soft-pedaling the antics while still managing to use women and minorities as punch lines.... a terribly shot movie." |
