Critic Reviews for Dot the I

Audience Reviews for Dot the I

• Jan 03, 2011

  In general, to avoid "spoiler reviews," I try to spend most of my time talking specifically about act one and talk in generalities about acts two and three. Act one of <i>Dot the I</i> sucks. We get relatively uninteresting characters, and it is obvious that the film is trying to set up a thriller plot-line, but we're never given any real clues to build the suspense. Acts two and three rock! The thriller plot-line manifests and turns this film into a brutal version of <i>The Shape of Things</i>. I especially liked the satire of the independent film industry, and that's about all I can say without spoiling the prestige. Verbeke is a beautiful, doe-eyed innocent with a flash of the bad girl here and there; she makes for an alluring screen presence, but I don't see much depth in her performance. D'Arcy is fantastic in acts two and three, but he's as boring as the film in act one. In the few Bernal films I've seen, he does a Mexican imitation of Jim Carrey and Zach Braff, but he is able to keep that annoying side of his acting under control for most of <i>Dot the I</i>. Overall, if it were possible to skip the first forty-five minutes and still understand the film, I'd suggest it.

  This is a big champagne budget movie done on a beer budget. Seeing how the story is told with what appears to be several beginners at the helm made it even more fun and bordered on artistic for me! It was an enjoyable movie to pass some time watching.

  I liked this movie a lot. I think that I might not have liked it as much if I had had an idea about what to expect. I feel that this has the potential to be one of those movies that could be "mismarketed" and then I would end up hating it (like The Village or Blow Dry). But I really had no idea what it was going to be like and I ended up really enjoying it. It was a little slow at the beginning but then it got real interesting.

  An intriguing movie. The story plot is hypnotic and endearing, but yet bizarre. Fascinating tale of human interaction. Love it.
