Leave your thoughts about Passion of Mind.
| Mr. ShowbizKevin MaynardWorks best as romantic melodrama and is least convincing as a psychological suspenser. |
| Associated PressChristy LemireIt's flawed and a bit convoluted, but worth seeing simply because the idea behind it is so intriguing. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrThere's no Passion in this psychological drama. |
| James Sanford on FilmJames SanfordSometimes, with its candlelit castles and love scenes played out in spacious antique bathtubs, "Passion" seems less like a movie than it does a glossy catalog spread out all over the big screen. |
| VarietyEmanuel LevyThis small-scale, chamber piece, which boasts good acting from Moore, Skarsgard and Fichtner, has a strong built-in appeal for women but may experience harder times in going beyond the specialized arthouse circuits due to the narrowly-scoped, undernourished script. |
| Film Journal InternationalShirley SealyMore likely to leave viewers emotionally exhausted and squirming in their seats, mumbling something like, 'Oh, c'mon-give me a break!' |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaNever comes up with a compelling reason to care. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBy the ending of the film, which is unconvincingly neat, I was distracted by too many questions to care about the answers. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerThough a hypnotically beautiful film, it's dramatically listless and dull, and completely lacking in passion. |
| About.comFred TopelSomewhat interesting parallel lives story, but needed more ambiguity. |
