Critic Reviews
-
Susan Walker, Toronto Star
Movie sequels rarely work as well as literary serials, but the Henry and Fay movies have the ring of a satisfying trilogy in the making.
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
The involved backstory and Hartley's own generic music both prove burdensome; the main attraction is the cast's amusing way of handling Hartley's mannerist dialogue and conceits.
-
Claudia Puig, USA Today
Despite its imperfections, Fay Grim is worth seeing for Posey's and Goldblum's performances and particularly for the witty, literate dialogue.
-
Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News
Fay Grim is a farce in which people die and lives are ruined. Which is to say, it's peculiarly funny, but you have to be an existentialist with lightning-fast reflexes to get all the jokes.
-
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
You won't see another film like Fay Grim this year, and we should give [Hal] Hartley credit for making it work on his own terms.
