Critic Reviews for The Technical Writer

All Critics (5) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (2)

While the set-up is pure neo-noir -- vamp wife, slimeball husband, sucker hero -- The Technical Writer takes its eye off the light at the end of the tunnel.

Geoff Pevere
Toronto Star
The Technical Writer is a numbingly bad movie and a glorious inspiration to every wannabe filmmaker with a 'deeply personal' script wasting away in the bottom drawer of his or her desk.

The Technical Writer is a film that works because of the writing.
