Stumbles from one catatonic scene to the next, mixing aggressively 'clever' ideas with strident dialogue.

Reviews for Teknolust
I can't imagine anyone not being disappointed by this movie, which dares to be different yet fails miserably doing so.
02/02/04
An achievement in digital filmmaking that Leeson's peers will be hard-pressed to emulate.
08/29/02
'A' for creativity but comes across more as a sketch for a full-length comedy.

Yes, it's odd that a movie so focused on sex and computers could be a complete letdown, but this bizarre trip is just that.

Can a movie be fascinating and boring at the same time?
02/19/04
The film has a familiar plot, but with one significant difference. Unlike most movies about twins and lookalikes, this one's very, very boring.
09/18/02
Clumsy, no question, but perhaps understandably burdened by its sprawling ambition.
12/24/03
Obviously, a lot of people wasted a lot of their time (including mine) on something very inconsequential.

viewers have to endure new media artist Lynn Hershman Leeson’s uncomfortable attempts at taking her cracking-stiff theories and translating them into dramatic narrative form
02/20/04
A muddled mess of cybernetics and new-age philosophy that goes nowhere slow, despite its abbreviated 80-minute running time
02/19/04
Boasts eye-catching art direction but has a forcefully quirky tone that quickly wears out its limited welcome.

Witty, surprisingly tender.
10/22/03
Wallows in dubious plot constructions, shoddy design, immature camera work, and a fatiguing lack of thrill.
02/06/04
[T]he design (and everything else, actually) walks right on that fine line between pretension and deeper meaning.
08/20/03
Fails as entertainment, being so ineptly directed and written it often has the feel of a high school production by kids with more money and ambition than talent.
02/20/04
Top CriticA minor addition to the tiny genre of feminist science fiction films.
