The storyline is overwrought and awkward, and the audience is distanced from the flatly drawn characters. Read critic reviews

I prefer to think of this movie as The Critic Who Cried.

Potter eschews drama for posing, politics for postulating, and provides enough symbolic broad strokes to gag a magic realist.

It's as though we're being dared not to take the movie seriously, although nothing but the pre-Holocaust setting compels you to do so.

There's only one performer in the movie who looks completely at ease with what he's doing: the horse.

Audience Reviews for The Man Who Cried

Sep 25, 2011The actors in this film constantly look as if they're befuddled, doing their best to interpret Sally Potter's obtuse writing and directing style.Brett W Super Reviewer

Sep 06, 2010This is a fairly basic Nazis = bad film. There's not much in the way of political acumen, and the characters and their storylines never escape from basic types. The acting is good until the characters begin the worst lip synching in film history. Potter's dialogue is fairly stilted, but the art direction and cinematography is good. As a whole, the film needed to escape cliche and take greater advantage of its cast, all of whom are capable of strong, nuanced performances.Jim H Super Reviewer

Aug 25, 2009Gloriously flamboyant and emotionally camp exploration of cultural assimilation. Christina Ricci is fabulously passive and unmoved by proceedings as is an equally understated Johnny Depp. Cate Blanchett chews scenery with panache, and Sacha Vierny's camerawork is exquisite.hawk l Super Reviewer

Jul 27, 2009Hard to understand what some of the characters are saying or singing and a little slow in parts.Nikki M Super Reviewer
