Reviews for Dot the I
You watch the screen in disbelief and amazement that any aspiring auteur could so willfully undermine his own project this way.

...benefits greatly from the inclusion of a thoroughly unpredictable third-act twist...

Dot the I is okay-ish until it drops one of those Sixth Sense-style plot twists which negates everything that has gone before it into audiences' laps . . .

As much as it tries to be a smart, postmodern indie film, dot the i is pure Hollywood fluff.

Top CriticThe term 'terrible' not only describes what happens to the characters, it also describes the brain-numbing sensation of having to sit through this movie.

The movie stops being about [its characters] - and starts being about the ways writer-director Matthew Parkhill can screw with your head.

So in love with its own inventions and convolutions that it ignores all plausibility and audience acceptance.
06/25/05
But despite its trickery, dot the i lacks emotional resonance that would elevate it above the banal.
06/17/05
Parkhill tries to keep new blood pulsing through the film, but the movie stalls by its third act, where he plays a trick that seems more desperate than fresh.

Top Critic“Dot the I” wants to join the ranks of “Memento” and “The Usual Suspects,” films that reward multiple viewings, but it's so ridiculous that it doesn’t sustain a first.
06/09/05
Once the effect of the second act’s gimmick wears off, you find yourself growing more and more annoyed at the improbability of the entire setup.
05/31/05
A curious mélange that works more often than not.
05/20/05
A weird, pretty film with a dumb script, a skilled cast and a good twist, plus one hot sex scene and one brilliant scene-chew by D'Arcy.
05/20/05
Take a long, hard look at Parkhill's film, and you'll find too many i's undotted.
05/20/05
Top CriticWhile stylishly done, Parkhill's script isn't nearly as clever as he thinks it is, and the sucker punch near the end lacks, well, punch.
