Critic Reviews

  • Mike Clark, USA Today

    The leads do physically resemble their real-life prototypes, judging from last year's coffee-table book on Carrington's art and personal circle. But the snail's pacing, vague writing and Thompson herself leave a fatal void.

  • Jeffrey M. Anderson, San Francisco Examiner

    Cowardly and dull.

  • Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

    One of those pretty terrific movies that has somehow just fallen by the wayside in our collective cinematic consciousness.

  • Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice

    Jonathan Pryce dominates the film with his fussy and idiosyncratic performance as the outspoken homosexual and iconoclastic chronicler of 20th century excesses.
