Critic Reviews for Denise Calls Up
All Critics (22) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (17) | Rotten (5)
A minor but quirkily charming comedy about alientaion, love, and folly that reflects the zeitgeist in terms of AIDS and modern technology.
Salwen has captured and properly identified a very particular modern American species. His emergence as a filmmaker is a true event.

At only 80 minutes, it doesn't overstay its welcome, but slight though it may be, it knows how to create constant smiles.
It's hard to care about a movie story in which the characters never meet one another or really care about one another.
Might have been more effective if the writer/director had taken the time to create characters imbued with more than token traces of humanity.
After a while, besides enjoying the stories as such, we begin to enjoy the film's trickiness, almost all on the phone, as a sort of high-wire act.
