Critic Reviews for Three Days of Rain

All Critics (10) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (6)

Rain strives for a Magnolia-type tapestry of quiet desperation. But after 90 unremitting minutes of badly acted, atrociously written histrionic misery, pic leaves one praying for frogs.

Ronnie Scheib
Variety
As a filmmaker, Meredith has a strong, if derivative, visual sense, although his screenplay is packed with too many clichs and familiar riffs.

March 11, 2006 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Marjorie Baumgarten
Austin Chronicle
In the genre of interlocking stories about lonely lives, Three Days of Rain is only a sketch compared to the power of Rodrigo Garcia's Nine Lives, which continues to grow in my memory.

December 8, 2005 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
The ends of each story work beautifully, but getting there requires traveling some washed-out roads, despite the imprimatur of executive producer Wim Wenders.

September 30, 2005 | Rating: 2/4

Jami Bernard
New York Daily News
A well-written and -acted drama that's also unrelentingly grim.

September 30, 2005 | Rating: 2.5/4

V.A. Musetto
New York Post
Inspired by Chekhov's short stories, Three Days of Rain belongs to the now-familiar genre of overlapping tales of urban desperation.

September 30, 2005 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…

Jeannette Catsoulis
New York Times
Meredith has created a mood piece that avoids self-indulgence as it explores the self-indulgent nature of a handful of diverse people, caught up in the major and minor miseries of life's foolish ironies and genuine woes.

July 21, 2006 | Rating: 3.5/5

Bridget Byrne
Boxoffice Magazine
A hypnotic mood piece -- where characters' blank existential stares are framed through rain-beaded car windows -- and a murky riff on urban Midwestern ennui (by way of the Russian steppes).

L.A. Weekly
It's simply a pleasure watching these seasoned pros, a collection of recognizable faces, if not exactly household names, massage these characters and bring them and their stories to life.
