the 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. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

1.5/4 |
Paul Auster's suffocating romance makes you feel as if you're helplessly stuck inside the head of the most pretentious person you know. Full Review |

What starts out as a clever exploration of consciousness quickly descends into underplotted folly. Full Review |
||
 3/5 |
A fanciful and enganging metaphysical mystery about a writer, two beauties, love and the challenges of the creative process. Full Review |

|
1.5/4 |
The inner life of Martin Frost reeks of misogyny and the film that enshrines his egomania makes half-assed aspirations to Goethe. Full Review |
