So far, so good, right? Not really.

Top Criticthe conclusion comes across as tacked-on, padded to get the thing to feature length. That's an unfortunate way to wrap up an otherwise sweet little movie.

The film's magical qualities magically eluded me.

The inner life of Martin Frost reeks of misogyny and the film that enshrines his egomania makes half-assed aspirations to Goethe.
08/14/07
A fanciful and enganging metaphysical mystery about a writer, two beauties, love and the challenges of the creative process.

What starts out as a clever exploration of consciousness quickly descends into underplotted folly.

The result plays like a half-baked tribute to Wings of Desire.

Strained dialogue, awkward mise-en-scene and weirdly uncomfortable thesping from superlative players contribute to a drearily self-reflective conceit.

Thanks to the lumbering pace of Auster's script and the lugubrious way he directs this ostensible romantic fantasy, Martin and his muse fail, miserably, to amuse.
