Critic Reviews

  • Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle

    It is probably asking too much of this phantasmagoria that it make sense.

  • Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

    If you're looking for a defining Wenders image, try starting with the gloomy angels in overcoats in Wings Of Desire.

  • Kevin Maynard, Mr. Showbiz

  • Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

    If any of these characters were half as resonant as Wenders appears to think they are, the film might have seemed charming instead of merely stranded.

  • David Stratton, Variety

    Audiences partial to this rather rarefied material will find plenty to enjoy in the technically polished production, but those not on Wenders' wavelength will be seriously alienated.

    Very off beat. It was fun, and even though I hate Jeremy Davies, the rest of the cast checked out.

  • Stephen M


    I can't think of very much to say about this film. The cast list reads like a who's-who of irritating actors: Amanda Plummer, Julian Sands, Bud Cort, etc. Mel Gibson looks very uncomfortable as a G-man investigating a suspicious death, and not just because he's wearing… More

    Milla Jovovich and Mel Gibson in some weird back brace thingy. A quality independent film.
