Has Odour-Eater hauteur.

RTCinema CrazedFeb 13, 2008

Has a lot of appeal and potential, but it's sadly a wasted and utterly terrible experience...

B

Bill Chambers

RTFilm Freak CentralJan 27, 2008

Pitt's tendency to turn into a space cadet without a well-defined archetype to play slows the movie's pacing to a crawl

E

Emanuel Levy

RTEmanuelLevy.ComDec 18, 2006

A bizarre, idiosyncratic fable that draws on Jarmusch's minimalist style (DiCillo was Jarmusch's lenser) and David Lynch's Erasrerhead.
