Reviews for Bodies, Rest & Motion
The charms of the performances and the likable, subtle comic driftings can be quite stimulating.
01/01/00
It's overall well-acted but often too stupid to bear.

It has barely enough wisdom to fill a fortune cookie but it's no pain to sit through.
01/01/00
Top CriticAptly titled, the narrative applies Newton's famous law to charcaters that are in rest (actually more inertsia), forced to move by an external stimulus. Acting of central traingle, played by Bridget Fonda, Tim Roth, and Eric Stoltz, is good.
04/29/06
Zeroes in on the efforts of four characters in their 20s struggling with the contradictory desires for roots and wings.
08/20/02
In an era when many motion pictures are going for 'big,' it's nice to see well-known actors in a 'small' film like this.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe other actors share an easy, appealing rapport and a flair for dry understatement, which is the film's prevailing tone.
05/20/03
Top CriticA generally winning romantic comedy possessing an unusual degree of self-importance, Bodies, Rest and Motion works primarily because of its likable cast.

The film squeaks in its joints whenever it tries too hard to make a 'generational statement,' and may annoy you with its glibness, but it manages to hold one's interest -- surprisingly at times, given the lightweight characters.

Top CriticThis movie always reminds me of why I dig Eric Stoltz.

10/14/02
A great indie-list cast makes the angst worth watching.
07/25/02
The strength of it, the subtext of revolving door relationships, would have been better served if allowed to remain more subtle.
02/04/08
Excruciating.
11/15/07
A laid-back look at youthful rootlessness which never really catches fire.
06/24/06
Not much motion, but plenty of reason to rest
