Teknolust Reviews

A silly mad scientist film dealing mostly with feminist issues.

Full Review | Original Score: B-

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.

| Original Score: 1.5/4

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

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

Leeson's sensibility is a thoroughly irritating mix of intellectual hauteur and juvenile smuttiness.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

A muddled mess of cybernetics and new-age philosophy that goes nowhere slow, despite its abbreviated 80-minute running time

Full Review | Original Score: D

A minor addition to the tiny genre of feminist science fiction films.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Can a movie be fascinating and boring at the same time?

'Teknolust' embarrassingly resembles insulting, insistent television commercials. Unfortunately, they may be the future.

Full Review

Wallows in dubious plot constructions, shoddy design, immature camera work, and a fatiguing lack of thrill.

Full Review | Original Score: F

I can't imagine anyone not being disappointed by this movie, which dares to be different yet fails miserably doing so.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4

Clumsy, no question, but perhaps understandably burdened by its sprawling ambition.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

The picture proves tiring, its pretty, color-coordinated images are like flipping through a funky fashion magazine.

Full Review | Original Score: C+

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

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

The plot is vapor, but tech whimsy, movie lifts and funny multiples of Swinton sustain a San Franciscan charm.

Full Review

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.

Full Review | Original Score: F

Witty, surprisingly tender.

Full Review

An oddball, biotech Rocky Horror Picture Show for the intellectual set.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

Sci-fi has rarely been so playful.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

It's the sort of pretentious twaddle that gives twaddle a bad name.
