 "...may be the greatest film ever made about impermanence.... In a cinematic series and career notable for their variable natures, Hawke is an actor transformed." |

 "A self-referential, insider farce... Feiffer reimagines herself as a drunken mess consumed only with recapturing the red carpet spotlight..." |

 "Rourke's barely up to the task, delivering only stock ultra-cool villainy despite his floppy hair, puffy face, and a weirdo accent..." |

 "A coda strives to capture a sense of tragically earned transcendence, but the film is far more fascinating when mucking around in hell." |

 "...when not dully mocking artistic pretensions or referencing 'A Tale of Two Cities,' the film is busy wasting time shoehorning Greg Kinnear into the action..." |

"...an intriguing tale of redemption and rebirth... eventually segues into a more conventional revenge drama.... the director finds nowhere to take his story..." |

Poor |
"...reveals that a respectable cast and much noisy boisterousness isn't enough to generate a single laugh.... a cartoony stew of unlikable characters..." |

 "...so little occurs, and so little seems to be at stake, that the action takes on the quality of a tossed-off, not-especially-melodic country-music ditty." |

"...tepid.... rote chases and shootouts are staged by writer-director Conor Allyn with a visual competence that's at odds with his messily slapped-together story." |

"...as unhinged as it is hilarious.... rife with bonkers one-liners and laugh-out-loud absurdity... Feiffer is a brazenly tasteless riot." |

 "...doesn't amount to more than a flimsy home-movie portrait of the creative process under time constraints.... provides no real insight into the origins of inspiration..." |

Good (Not Great) |
 "...a rollicking, hilarious mess of inappropriateness that at once embraces, and condemns, its many tasteless elements.... riotous and repugnant..." |

 "...via alternately grim and surreal panoramas of malice and insanity, and without resorting to cheap squirm-inducing gore, Zombie wants to furiously disturb..." |

 "...elevates the story of Jackie Robinson to that of cornball legend rather than just honoring his legitimately uplifting, heroic saga by telling it straight." |

 "Even 'The Twilight Zone' would have struggled with the cutesy conceit of this movie, a greed-corrupts cautionary tale..." |

Poor |
 "Any initial, intriguing otherworldly atmosphere is negated by answers that are more pedestrian than terrifying... an excuse to stage super-slow-motion murder..." |

"Wearing out its welcome long before its moralizing finale, the film does manage to mine contemporary fears about the increasing worthlessness of a college degree." |

Poor |
 "...a leaden tale that blurs the line between reality and delusion in ways less intriguing than simply confusing.... goes out of its way to be dully oblique..." |

 "The film lionizes unabashedly... uncomplicated... no matter its veracity, the veneration is the only point conveyed throughout..." |
