Reviews for Wicker Park
tricks the audience into deceiving itself before unraveling another set of assumptions by deftly shifting the point of view

there’s a je ne sais quoi about the film that transcends what might otherwise be mere art for art’s sake and makes it pleasantly enjoyable
09/01/04
It seems to take a confused eternity to get started, but once director Paul McGuigan's m.o. finally becomes apparent, the thing takes on a dogged kind of interest.
09/04/04
That Wicker Park becomes as engrossing as it does is particularly shocking, given the almost interminable opening hour...
01/15/05
A fairly engrossing look at the havoc obsession can wreak on people's lives.
09/03/04
This is a great date movie. Handholding can get quite serious during the film's many intense scenes.
09/08/04
Not the customary disposable cinematic fare released on the always-slow Labor Day weekend, but an intriguing, original film of ideas and human feeling.
09/04/04
McGuigan has a superb sense of wild romanticism, sometimes blending it with thriller-style tension and other times just reveling in it.
09/02/04
This film is genuinely interested in getting us inside the heads of its three leads (Matthew, Alex, and Lisa). It wants us to understand, although not necessarily sympathize with, all three of them.

Top CriticFor some, this will be an enjoyable mystery to sort out; for others it's a headache waiting to happen.
09/03/04
A classy psychological thriller that challenges the audience to keep up with it.
09/02/04
...impressed me enough to want to recommend the film to anyone who...
09/01/04
Ambitious script, slick director, strong supporting cast ... wrong lead actors.
09/03/04
A powerfully compelling film that gains most of its intrigue via the artifice of purposefully withholding information from the moviegoer.
09/05/04
Wicker Park, a deeply psychological story about love and obsession, is really a hard film to pin down--but refreshingly enough, that's a good thing
09/03/04
Makes your brain spin in surprising and pleasurable ways.
09/09/04
Top CriticAn interesting formal exercise: exceedingly hard to swallow, but quietly engrossing...deserves style points for sticking to an unconventional narrative.
09/03/04
I am giving it thumbs up because of a very attractive cast and they do a wonderful job with what they got.
09/09/04
Top CriticThree of the four leads are terrible (but) keen and cunning storytelling makes it possible to see Wicker Park for its strengths despite its tremendous weaknesses.
