Top CriticA poetic satire and genre parody.
05/14/05
Top CriticPointlessly stilted and frustratingly obvious.
05/06/05
Top CriticNot one of Hartley's most successful efforts, but it's witty, daring, different and a welcome alternative to Hollywood pap.
05/04/05
Top CriticLike so many science fiction fantasies, Hal Hartley's new film begins with a clever satirical premise, then stumbles all over itself trying to tell a coherent, original story.
05/03/05
Top CriticStreaky low-frame-rate DV, Dogme-style mundane interiors, and merely unembarrassing televisual performances add up to a monotonous, unenlightening experience.
05/03/05
Top CriticUnconvincingly attempts to update the futurist dystopian traditions of Orwell, Huxley and William Gibson.
