Leave your thoughts about Milwaukee, Minnesota.
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyProducer Allan Mindel's directorial debut is a modest, old-fashioned indie about an eccentric loner and a band of outsiders who try to exploit him |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonIn spite of fighting performances by Quaid and Dern, its hard to bite on this ice-fishing pot-boiler. |
| Film Journal InternationalEric MonderContains all the elements of a charmingly offbeat independent film, but somehow those elements never quite gel. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedA strange, compelling film, with Mr. Garity as a likeable, winning centerpiece. |
| San Francisco ChronicleJonathan CurielMemorable enough to warrant another shot at director. This film ends in a way that proves Mindel doesn't rely on cliches to make a statement. |
| L.A. WeeklyErnest HardyMore predictable than its makers seem aware, its emotional hooks much too dull to pull us in. |
| Film ThreatDoug BrunellWhen you have Bruce Dern and Randy Quaid in a movie, you have expectations. Those two rarely disappoint, and that continues to be the case here. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasA weird but tasty slice of Midwestern noir. |
| New York PostLou LumenickSolid acting by a cast headed by Troy Garity -- and striking cinematography by Bernd Heinl -- helps redeem Allan Mindel's never-quite-believable crime drama Milwaukee, Minnesota. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelNick CarterThe busyness of the story, filled with conventional crime-plot scams and devices, only further exposes the narrative's thinness. |
