Reviews for (Untitled)
Top Critic[Parker's] new film has that same ultra-black comedy vibe, which means good news for us few fans and bad news for everyone else.

...spry and spiky satire...
11/19/09
The performances here are all stellar, and narrative movies that take the making of art seriously are a rare breed indeed.
11/06/09
The characters...are wrapped up in their own perceptions of their greatness and are an odious lot. This is fitting for the film but leaves the viewer without a character to like.
11/13/09
...starts to feel like a one trick pony.
11/08/09
(Untitled) is a comedy worthy of the best Woody Allen, and Adrian is not unlike Woody's persona: a sincere, intense, insecure nebbish, hopeless with women, aiming for greatness.
11/05/09
Top CriticA laugh-out-loud satire with a dry-martini wit ... consistently surprising and funny without pandering for laughs.
10/19/09
There's plenty to recommend.
10/23/09
Top CriticA simply terrific ensemble cast is the main attraction in this probably too-clever-for-its-own-good satire on the world of modern art.
10/23/09
The impenetrable gallery jargon is quite funny at first, and the brothers' twisted relationship is set up nicely, but the movie errs when it takes itself seriously.
11/12/09
Shrewdly hedges its bets about the value of it all, it is ultimately on the side of experimental music and art and their champions, no matter how eccentric. For that alone this brave little movie deserves an audience.

Top CriticWoody Allen might have passed on making this film 35 years ago because it was too dated and middlebrow.
11/12/09
It doesn't have a hero who's right and everyone else is wrong. And though it mocks every character, it dismisses nobody. It makes a case for every point of view, including those the filmmakers don't share.
11/05/09
Top Critic(Untitled)’s onslaught of self-indulgent bohos and art-vs.-commerce clichés are as ersatz as their objects of scorn.
10/21/09
It's a sharp movie, pitched at a tone located squarely between archness and sincerity.
10/23/09
A small gem of a movie. Can it find the audience it deserves? Given the vagaries of indie distribution, it'll have to be sought out. But it's so worth finding.
10/23/09
It's a testament to the movie's keen script that, until a disjointed final act, we're able to both laugh at these characters and sympathize with them.
11/05/09
A serious comedy in which the assorted players - a couple of artists, some gallerists, and the people who attend (or don’t attend) their shows - discuss what art is, what it should aspire to be, and what kind of people collect, exhibit, and consider it.
11/12/09
Top CriticA very funny and on-the-nose takedown of artsy pretension.
