Leave your thoughts about Leaves of Grass.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertTim Blake Nelson's Leaves of Grass is some kind of sweet, wacky masterpiece. It takes all sorts of risks, including a dual role with Edward Norton playing twin brothers, and it pulls them off. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenHeady stuff, but plot feels forced rather than organic. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyOne Edward Norton performance is often enough reason to see a movie, so it comes as no surprise that the prospect of two -- he plays twins -- is very much the main attraction, and reward, of Leaves of Grass. |
| indieWireBrandon JudellI could only bear 35 minutes, and I haven't walked out of anything since 'You, Me and Dupree.' |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordThis is a very personal film from Nelson that is jam packed with ideas and heavily influenced by the Coen Brothers... |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinAn offbeat thriller that is deepened -- rather than derailed -- by its tricky shift from darkly funny to just plain dark. |
| HitFixDrew McWeeny... through it all, the two performances by Edward Norton feel natural, relaxed, utterly unlike a gimmick. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonEmerging director Tim Blake Nelson takes another step up with this comedy drama starring Edward Norton in what might go down as Norton's best performance yet. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...worth checking out if only for Norton's phenomenal, Oscar-worthy turn as the film's diametrically opposed twins. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe movie bubbles with intellectual curiosity and narrative ambition. |
