NEW YORK/LOS ANGELES/CHICAGO/TORONTO (4 Reviews)
Stephen Holden, New York Times: GOOD (NOT GREAT) "If 'Nobody Else but You' is smart and entertaining, it is a little too clever for its own good... I felt continually nudged by the movie's winking self-awareness."(See all of Stephen Holden's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 591 words, 05/11/12
Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times: GOOD (NOT GREAT) "...leaves few movie allusions unturned. The enduring mythology of Monroe enters the story as a mildly engaging echo and turns into an all-consuming avalanche..."(See all of Sheri Linden's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 259 words, 06/08/12
Farran Smith Nehme, New York Post: GOOD (NOT GREAT)(cg) "...has the ingredients for a splendid neo-noir.... There is not a single aspect of Marilyn Monroe's overly chronicled biography that does not have its echo in this film."(See all of Farran Smith Nehme's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 231 words, 05/11/12

KEY CITIES (5 Reviews)
Stephanie Merry, Washington Post: GOOD (NOT GREAT)(cg) "...eccentrically comedic... It's an enjoyable way to spend 100 or so minutes, but once it ends, it might make a disappearing act from memory."(See all of Stephanie Merry's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 439 words, 08/03/12
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star-Tribune: VERY GOOD(cg) "Like the David Lynch TV series that inspired it, this film is sometimes brilliant, sometimes forced, but at its best it's intoxicatingly strange."(See all of Colin Covert's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 173 words, 08/24/12
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: VERY GOOD(cg) "...keeps things humming with a wicked wit, updated suspense cliches like severed car brakes on an icy road, and resorts to Candice's diaries..."(See all of Ty Burr's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 530 words, 06/08/12
Jesse Cataldo, Slant: MODERATE(cg) "...echoes HBO's 'Bored to Death' and Claude Chabrol's 'Inspector Bellamy,' but without the former's humor or the latter's genuine menace..."(See all of Jesse Cataldo's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 511 words, 05/08/12

MOVIE INDUSTRY (4 Reviews)
Boyd Van Hoeij, Daily Variety: GOOD "...a subversive and strange little film noir... combines wildly disparate elements, including a voiceover from beyond the grave, an oddly patterned detective story and an offbeat sense of humor."(See all of Boyd Van Hoeij's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 286 words, 03/13/11
