Soderbergh's "smallest" film is also one of his most personal and original, a biting satire of modern life and marriage that he wrote, directed, lensed, and starred in; though fractured and uneven, it's an underestimated work. Full Review |

Taken as a whole, the film fails to maintain the consistent absurd tone it is aiming for. Full Review |

At once an astute study of the banality of modern life and a banal student film wrapped around a series of inside jokes. Full Review |

Schizopolis is by no means an epochal event, but it's clever and offbeat, well worth appreciating on its own proper terms. Full Review |

Schizopolis is Steven Soderbergh's berserk and uneven attempt to mimic Bunuel's Un Chien Andalou; he wants to provoke reaction but he's not quite sure how to go about it. Full Review |

Schizopolis represents a minor act of self-indulgence on the part of the sometimes eccentric Steven Soderbergh but results in major tedium for the viewer. Full Review |

No kidding, this is one weird movie. But if you're open to the wacky experience and you are patient, you will have a lot of laughs and gain surprising insight into contemporary society. Full Review |

Who knew that deep inside the soul of Steven Soderbergh beat the heart of a great comic actor? Full Review |

3/4 |
It's fresh, unexpected and goofy. It's not a smart career move, just a film that its director wanted to make for some crazy reason, and he made it. Full Review |
