Movie Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - 6/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumThere's nothing particularly revolutionary about writer-director Robert Edwards' grimly satiric political fable.
Rolling Stone - 4/10 by Peter TraversPolitical satire is so rare that it's a shame to watch the reliable Ralph Fiennes and Donald Sutherland lend their talents to one that is blind to its own incompetence.
Village Voice - 4/10 by Michael AtkinsonIt's an easy movie to loathe, but it's designed imaginatively and enjoys the committed attention of its cast.
The New Republic - 4/10 by Stanley KauffmannThe dialogue creaks, all the more so since we know better than it does what it is going to say.
The Hollywood Reporter - 4/10 by Frank ScheckAbout as subtle as its all too obvious title would suggest.
New York Daily News - 4/10 by Jack MathewsFirst-time writer-director Robert Edwards is nothing if not ambitious, attempting to encapsulate the history of totalitarian oppression and misguided revolutionary zeal into a broad, blunt, black comedy.
New York Post - 4/10 by Kyle SmithThough Fiennes has done (far) better work, the blurry story seems almost profound when seen through his eyes. To the extent the movie works at all, it works best when it's just the camera and Fiennes in a bleak white room.
Variety - 3/10 by Jay WeissbergOne of the more spectacular misfires of recent years, Land of the Blind's lack of originality is only slightly exceeded by its failure to work as political satire.
The New York Times - 2/10 by Stephen HoldenMr. Edwards, who wrote and directed Land of the Blind (it's his debut film), might counter that the movie is a Brechtian comedy that's not supposed to make literal sense: the big picture is what matters. But the big picture is a mess.
User Review - 9/10 by ChuckThis movie has been unfairly downgraded. I can't quite give it a 10 but it's a solid 9: a nasty dystopian fantasy somewhat like Gilliam's Brazil but much more willing to twist the knife. Sutherland is perfect in his role and Fiennes isn't far behind. I strongly disagree with the critics on this one.
