Leave your thoughts about Multiple Sarcasms.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekMight serve a useful therapeutic function for its writer-director, but for the rest of us the exercise in self-examination will have a much less beneficial effect, unless you suffer from insomnia. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierThe cast is uniformly appealing in out-of-left-field ways, but writer-director Brooks Branch lets the story amble lazily, which -- like Gabriel and almost every character like him you've ever seen -- gets a little tiring. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferAn often uneven, inorganic drama centered around a dull, tediously narcissistic character who's as irritating as nails on a chalkboard. |
| CinemaBlend.comPerri NemiroffThe filmmaking, acting and the soundtrack are adequate, but the main character is such an unlikable lead that while the film is entertaining, it's hard to enjoy. |
| Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyRather than some deeper understanding of the human condition, what we get from Multiple Sarcasms is a lot of heavy breathing. |
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghMultiple Sarcasms has a way of creatively meandering into unexpected pockets of comedy and poignancy, heading toward some kind of eventual grace, a little like real life. |

| Boxoffice MagazinePete HammondChanning doesn't bring any new tricks to the table but with her character's tenacious and spirited nature she's fun to have around for a few brief scenes. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzTimothy Hutton is a good actor. So whom to blame for Multiple Sarcasms? |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersIt doesn't help that Hutton's performance is strictly one note. I kept waiting for him to find the man's depths, to give me an understanding into his malaise that I could relate to and understand. |
