You don't like Don't Move, you admire it for daring to be a bit more complex, for caring about characters who are hard to care about and for plowing forward through all manner of ugly business.

Top CriticThough beautifully shot and acted, Don't Move still holds limited appeal.
06/03/05
Top CriticRomantic melodrama of the worst kind.
05/27/05
Top CriticThe performances are exquisite.
05/26/05
Top CriticIt has grand flourishes, bold strokes and a soundtrack that swells with emotional Italian and American rock, but it doesn't go over the edge of sentimentality. It's too hard-edged and its acting is too restrained and fine for that.
05/20/05
Top CriticErotic yet lyrical, graphic yet subtle, edgy yet uplifting, disturbing yet reassuring.
05/19/05
Top CriticManipulative in the extreme.
05/13/05
Top CriticIt's behind the camera where Castellitto does his best work. He immediately pulls you into the story and when it's over you don't want to move.
04/22/05
Top CriticThe character of Timoteo is so hypocritically conceived that it's hard to watch the movie to the end.
04/21/05
Top CriticCastellitto must have been aiming for a story of redemption here. All he achieves is melodrama.
04/15/05
Top CriticWe just don't learn enough to compensate for feeling so little.
04/15/05
Top CriticCastellitto keeps cranking up the melodrama and l'amour fou, and after a while you realize he has no idea when to stop.
04/15/05
Top CriticA full-bodied, all-stops-out love story with a wrenching impact that makes most of today's screen romances seem undernourished by comparison.
03/18/05
Top CriticNow here's a daring version of l'amour fou.
03/16/05
Top CriticThe script is morose and unfocused -- not to mention hard to believe and insulting to women.
03/11/05
Top CriticWhat could have been a provocative psychological drama is instead a dishonestly romantic exploration of narcissism and exploitation.
03/10/05
Top CriticA mesmerizing erotic odyssey given gravity and heart by Cruz.
03/10/05
Top CriticA movie of robust scenes.
03/08/05
Top CriticThe two things that keep the film from falling into laughable melodrama are its continual inventions on a stylistic level ... and the exceptional level of acting.
06/01/04
Top Critic[Cruz] gives an unforgettable portrayal of a beautifully raw and innocent woman whose capacity for love towers over all who would despoil her.
