Movie Reviews

Boston Herald - 7/10 by James VerniereIn the inexplicably titled 'Answers to Nothing,' a film you might inadvertently wander into this weekend if you're unlucky
AV Club - 7/10 by Nathan RabinFilms like these have taught us that suffering is the incontrovertible existential fate of attractive Los Angeles residents. Must these dour exercises in alienation make audiences suffer as well?
BrianOrndorf.com - 6/10 by Brian OrndorfSome impassioned performances ease the flow of gloom, but it's a long, steady walk to the noose for a picture in dire need of Prozac and some fresh air.
Chicago Sun-Times - 6/10 by Roger EbertThe interlocking stories are theoretically about people whose lives are associated; that worked in "Crash." Here the connections seem less immediate and significant, and so the movie sometimes seems based on a group of separate short stories.
Variety - 6/10 by Dennis HarveyStitching together a quilt of stories involving disparate Angelenos in the mode of "Magnolia" and "Short Cuts" and myriad other crisscrossers, this somber drama is well crafted and watchable but lacks the distinctive story content, style and standout performances to become more than a serviceable reboot of familiar ideas.
Newsday - 6/10 by Rafer GuzmanNearly a dozen random themes and characters have been Scotch-taped together into a single mess.
New York Times - 6/10 by Neil GenzlingerSome fine performances and an embrace of understatement make Matthew Leutwyler's oddly titled Answers to Nothing a respectable entry in the multiple-stories-that-interlock genre.
Chicago Reader - 5/10 by Andrea GronvallAmong the other characters are an African-American TV writer (Kali Hawk) who hates black people and a widower (Erik Palladino) who stumbles onto a kidnapping case. The latter development provides the film with a denouement that's dramatically valid if overly neat.
New York Daily News - 4/10 by Joe NeumaierApparently, it takes a village - or the collection of villages known as Los Angeles - to go nowhere slowly.
Los Angeles Times - 4/10 by Gary GoldsteinThere's a lack of real conclusiveness to many of the film's characters and situations.
