Not only strains to connect the dots, but also pretends to be some thoughtful treatise on cinema versus reality. Sadly, it's just a tired bag of tricks.
03/11/05
Parkhill ... proves himself a capable handler of actors (especially with the ludicrously hot Natalia Verbeke), but his narrative could really stand to lose some tinsel.
03/24/05
... starts off intriguingly but is eventually scuttled on the shoals of plot contrivance.
03/24/05
A gimmicky first-time feature that bears all the unfortunate earmarks of an ambitious but empty directorial vision.
03/18/05
Parkhill, far too eager to wow them in the end, has crafted a twist-is-everything scenario, evincing a sub-Mamet level of concern for plot holes or audience satisfaction.
03/29/05
Top CriticIf you find dense, self-conscious mystification decorated with all kinds of fashionable postmodern gimmicks more than a bit annoying, best to look elsewhere.
04/23/05
Parkhill flips on the plot twist machine, and Dot the I becomes excruciatingly ridiculous in a multitude of ways.
04/14/05
Take a long, hard look at Parkhill's film, and you'll find too many i's undotted.
05/20/05
Top CriticMore polished verbally, but alarmingly unexpressive nonetheless, Bernal appears to have learned one essential trick of the budding movie star: When floundering, flash that irresistible horndog grin.
03/10/05
Inflicts great pain on the audience by wringing its plot into a bruised and pulpy mass.
04/21/05
You watch the screen in disbelief and amazement that any aspiring auteur could so willfully undermine his own project this way.
03/01/07
Behind its slick veneer and the glibness of its preposterous premise and dark twists, there's a yawning absence of charm or substance in this London-set love triangle, as well as a lack of chemistry between its three leads.
03/10/05
While the plot whirls around with a number of deft twists and deepens into darker layers, the story is emotionally uninvolving.
01/20/04
Dot the I is no different than the “emotional snuff film” it pretends to condemn, wiping out human emotion in favor of soulless twists.
