Critic Reviews
-
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
Vysotsky projects an essential sunniness that helps keep the film from turning maudlin.
-
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News
It ultimately feels like a folly that sounded great in the filmmaker's head, so great that he had to be put on screen, where it flounders around with no small degree of embarrassment.
-
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
With its cast of nauseatingly lovable lunatics, House of Fools may make you feel like you've been tricked into suffering through the Kevin Spacey flick K-Pax with subtitles.
-
Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle
Ruined from the start by its insulting depiction of mental illness.
-
Rex Reed, New York Observer
The misery I suffered in the Russian horror House of Fools, directed by the ridiculously overrated Andrei Konchalovsky, does deserve special scorn, but I don't have the stomach to rehash it.
