Reviews for ivans xtc.
Top CriticI 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.

Top CriticWith very little to add beyond the dark visions already relayed by superb recent predecessors like Swimming With Sharks and The Player, this latest skewering ... may put off insiders and outsiders alike.
06/15/02
The reality-TV-like camera work takes some getting used to. And the even shakier editing, dialogue and acting quickly reveal this isn't exactly summer's big blockbuster.
06/11/02
To the degree that ivans xtc. works, it's thanks to Huston's revelatory performance.
06/11/02
It's tough to watch, but it's a fantastic movie.

Top CriticMake no mistake, ivans xtc. is a mess.
06/07/02
It's the humanizing stuff that will probably sink the film for anyone who doesn't think about percentages all day long.
06/07/02
This 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 filmmakers, Ivan is a prince of a fellow, but he comes across as shallow and glib though not mean-spirited, and there's no indication that he's been responsible for putting together any movies of particular value or merit.

Top CriticBehind the glitz, Hollywood is sordid and disgusting. Quelle surprise!
06/07/02
Contrived as this may sound, Mr. Rose's updating works surprisingly well.
06/06/02
Top CriticBoldly 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.
