Boe's notion of cinema as a glamorous art is apparent, but his sense of narrative mystery tends to err on the side of pretentiousness. Full Review |

Toys with our feelings just enough to make us aware of ourselves but sufficiently refrains from manipulation- overload. Full Review |

Boe can be forgiven for occasionally bringing Reconstruction ... to the brink of pretension. It's his first full- length feature, and this is the mark of a novice. He makes up for it with a natural's gift for storytelling and eye for casting. Full Review |

Stylish, complex and challenging, Reconstruction is a noir romance that teases the mind but leaves the emotions untouched. Full Review |

A film with some heft to it, even if it is a bit self-indulgent. Full Review |

Emblematic of a new sort of filmic collage in which artificial construction is as much a featured part of the point as a means to an end. Full Review |

It manages to engage you on the literal -- the immediate story, that is -- and the abstract. Full Review |

3.5/5 |
Starts out a little like a perfume commercial - the close-ups of beautiful people and the meaningful whispers, but it quickly turns into something much more intriguing. Full Review |

Reconstruction works more resonantly as a cerebral exercise than an emotional voyage. Full Review |
