Movie Reviews

Compuserve - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenThe movie is about as interesting as a duck would be as a pet.
Denver Urban Spectrum - 8/10 by Kam WilliamsPhilip Baker Hall throws himself into the role ever so convincingly opposite his anthropomorphized companion in a manner reminiscent of Jimmy Stewart with his imaginary 6-foot tall rabbit in Harvey, and Tom Hanks with Wilson the volleyball in Cast Away.
Murphy's Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Ted MurphyBuried somewhere in this messy, strange and occasionally affecting film is an interesting idea -- perhaps even a good one. But what's on screen in DUCK also veers into territory that is precious and even boring.
Film Journal International - 7/10 by Frank LoveceA series of stagy vignettes that never builds to a point.
Los Angeles Daily News - 6/10 by Evan HenersonPossessed of one of the most hangdog faces in Hollywood, Hall meshes expertly with the movie's hopeful sadness. That we watch him toting a live duck around without once losing his dignity -- or breaking out in laughter -- has to count for something.
Washington Post - 5/10 by Desson ThomsonWe weren't particularly affected by Arthur's encounters with various strangers along the way. We think we know why: For the most part, we found ourselves watching a grown actor pretend to have a special connection. With a duck.
Hollywood Report Card - 4/10 by Ross AnthonyHosts a promising premise and some pretty interesting dialogue in spurts. But as the tail waddles across Los Angeles the originally agile storytelling suffers some bumps.
Time Out - 3/10 by Joshua RothkopfThere are precedents for this kind of old-coot-and-adorable-pet cinema, but the director, a USC film grad, demonstrates little in the way of keenness or even sentimentality.
User Review - 10/10 by Thomas MTo even rate this film on a 5-star scale is to ensnare it with comparisons to other, lesser titles. Arthur and Joe deserve better!
User Review - 10/10 by Nic KHermosa, sobrecogedora, dulce, crítica, sensible, real, simple, emocionante. Son sólo pocas palabras para describir esta película. La dura realidad de la soledad material y afectiva de un hombre que acaba de perder a su mujer, después de tantos años de casados, sin hijos (porque el que tenían murió), lo sume en la tristeza de seguir viviendo... cuando ha tomado la decisión de acabar con su vida, aparece un pequeño amigo a pedirle ayuda: un pato. Entonces, empiezan a vivir una vida de privaciones con tal de llegar al mar, pero todo lo solucionan dando alegría y esperanza al resto de las personas, en medio de una sociedad que no repara en ellos. Es realmente sobrecogedora; la banda sonora juega otro rol importante, porque describe y acompaña a la perfección las vicisitudes que viven Arthur y Joe. Absolutamente recomendada, y no para verla una vez, sino siempre!
