Reviews for Intermission
Working off a very funny and intricately formulated screenplay by Mark O'Rowe, what Crowley gives us is an entertaining example of Irish-Alt cinema ('alt' standing for both 'alternative' and 'Altman').
03/19/04
Top CriticO'Rowe and Crowley emphasize the general hopelessness in these people's lives but still give the movie enough spice and drive to lift it above the gloom.

Dizzily paced and structured, the Irish import Intermission charms with a never-let-‘em-see-you-sweat exuberance
09/30/04
Wants to blend the dark comedy of Trainspotting with the pathos and color of the Barrytown Trilogy and misses completely.
03/25/04
A quirky, Irish six-degrees-of-separation tale that chooses the roundabout route to happily ever after.
03/24/04
Crowley ... nimbly juggles all of these characters and gives his slight film a bouncy, knockabout quality.
04/02/04
Not spectacular, but not bad by any means, Intermission is just as its name suggests%u2014a nice little break.
04/01/04
... well-acted, ambitiously plotted directorial debut which will leave you with a big smile ...

Intermission is the equivalent of the rare and coveted royal flush. It is an acting royal flush. The storyline has been done...
03/19/04
A well-acted and interesting dark comedy, but the convoluted writing becomes the big drawback.
05/31/04
It's a sign of a well-written movie when all of the individual episodes carry equal weight.
04/19/04
Intermission is an edgy and feisty Irish drama set in Dublin where a lot of angry people vent their rage on others.
03/18/04
A kicky hopefulness obscures any misery. Once everyone's done screaming F-bombs in each other's faces, they reach out again... it's Love Actually for drunken a-holes.
04/16/04
A spiky comic treat.
03/19/04
A solidly acted ensemble piece that wants to emulate the edgy shock/comedy of Trainspotting and Snatch but never quite finds its groove.
04/16/04
If Intermission isn't profound, it's got boisterous humor and energy.
03/25/04
Top Criticpropelled by the actors' urgent performances and its running gags
03/07/04
Intermission is a mixed bag, but is certainly a worthy effort for one’s attention.
