The strength of it, the subtext of revolving door relationships, would have been better served if allowed to remain more subtle.

Reviews for Bodies, Rest & Motion
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

Annoying.

They may be archetypes of my peers, but it's really hard to even care.

Every generation spends a while in the navel observatory before learning that it's a shallow, lint-clogged pursuit.

Bodies, Rest and Motion is one of those movies that not only comes accompanied by supporting materials, but seems fairly pointless unless you brief yourself.

Top CriticUncompelling but moderately engaging.

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.

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.
