Reviews for ivans xtc.
Contrived as this may sound, Mr. Rose's updating works surprisingly well.

04/05/03
Boldly engineering a collision between tawdry B-movie flamboyance and grandiose spiritual anomie, Rose's film, true to its source material, provides a tenacious demonstration of death as the great equalizer.
06/04/02
Top CriticThis indie drama resonantly demonstrates how a person's worth is weighed in a town where you're only as good as your last game.
06/07/02
To the degree that ivans xtc. works, it's thanks to Huston's revelatory performance.
06/11/02
No review available.
08/08/05
It gets onto the screen just about as much of the novella as one could reasonably expect, and is engrossing and moving in its own right.
09/25/02
The fascination comes in the power of the Huston performance, which seems so larger than life and yet so fragile, and in the way the Ivan character accepts the news of his illness so quickly but still finds himself unable to react.
10/06/02
Captivates as it shows excess in business and pleasure, allowing us to find the small, human moments, and leaving off with a grand whimper.
08/19/02
I have no way of knowing exactly how much is exaggeration, but I've got a creepy feeling that the film is closer to the mark than I want to believe.
06/27/02
Top CriticA substantial and affecting piece of work.
08/08/02
Huston nails both the glad-handing and the choking sense of hollow despair.
08/20/02
It's "Bowfinger" with a meaning, it's "The Player" with a heart, it's a window into business, politics and excesses. The film has heart
06/29/02
A committed, intelligent and fascinating piece of work with no irony about it.
08/16/02
Top CriticA powerful, chilling, and affecting study of one man's dying fall.
07/09/02
It's tough to watch, but it's a fantastic movie.
06/10/02
Top Critic(Danny Huston gives) an astounding performance that deftly, gradually reveals a real human soul buried beneath a spellbinding serpent's smirk.
08/19/02
A remarkable film by Bernard Rose.
06/28/02
Top CriticA directorial tour de force by Bernard Rose, ivans xtc. is one of this year's very best pictures.
