Critic Reviews for Backgammon

All Critics (6) | Top Critics (5) | Rotten (6)

The film's musings on artists and muses tries to be deep but gets bogged down in tiresome booze-soaked mind games.

Katie Walsh
Los Angeles Times
An uncertain drama full of attitude it can't back up with action.

Something is off from the first scene.

Odie Henderson
RogerEbert.com
The creators of the lame psychological thriller Backgammon try and fail to nail twentysomething bourgeois-bohemians by treating them like human dartboards.

Simon Abrams
Village Voice
The imagery fails to express either the characters' or the filmmakers' obsessions or synchronicities.

Chuck Bowen
Slant Magazine
The new feature film Backgammon has at least one thing in common with its namesake board game: After watching it for just a few minutes, you're bound to get bored.
