Intersection (1994)

Critic Reviews

• Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

  Stone deserves some points for playing a recognizable human being while Davidovich fares less well in an underscripted part, but what sabotages the story altogether is Gere's boundless narcissism.

• Todd McCarthy, Variety

  This very loose adaptation (acknowledgement of the sources is buried in the end credits) attempts to goose things up here and there, but original's essentially meditative nature is left quite unfulfilled by the new approach and glamour cast.

• Janet Maslin, New York Times

  Tespite the glossiness, it winds up seeming profoundly uneventful, perhaps because the car crash is the story's only real dramatic turn.

• Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

  The only thing these characters have to talk about are the problems manufactured for them by the screenplay. No other conversations on any other subject amount to more than filler between crises.

• Desson Thomson, Washington Post

  Please stop me when you care.

• Rita Kempley, Washington Post

  Should he as an incredibly wealthy architect go back to his wife, Sharon Stone, or stay with his mistress, Lolita Davidovich? It's a question that ranks up there on the suspense-o-meter with "Paper or plastic?"

• , Film4

  Only Stone manages to find any emotional depth in her character, and that's not enough reason to see the film.

• , TV Guide's Movie Guide

  It's a waxen, pretentious bore, and whatever chance it may have had of succeeding is foiled by casting so misguided that it's hard to imagine it wasn't meant as a vicious joke.

• , Time Out

  Less neurotic and sexually charged than usual, Gere digs deep to find the source of his character's chronic indecisiveness.

• Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews

  Inane!

  My Basic Instinct tells me to inform all of it's unworthiness
