Critic Reviews for Balance, Not Symmetry

All Critics (6) | Top Critics (3) | Rotten (6)

Everyone in the film is annoying - variously self-obsessed, pseudy, theatrically needy or hopelessly drippy, while the dialogue veers between excruciating and cheesy.

Ed Potton
Times (UK)
The whole thing has the tentative, incomplete feel of an improv actors' project.

Peter Bradshaw
Guardian
Nothing else in the film - not the performances, not the themes, certainly not the rambling, diffident plotting - is strong enough to hold its own against the continual onslaught of music.

Wendy Ide
Screen International
Nothing really works in this underwhelming drama: the sad scenes aren't sad; the uplifting scenes aren't uplifting; moments that should be dramatic have no impact.

Stephen Carty
Radio Times
Devotees of the Scottish rockers will certainly get their money's worth in songs, but the film's failure to connect on an emotional or dramatic level is likely to leave everyone else cold.

Matthew Turner
The List
Balance, Not Symmetry is an uneven film that struggles to balance veracity with happily-ever-after.
