Movie Reviews

ColeSmithey.com - 9/10 by Cole SmitheyGraham Parker once said, "passion is no ordinary word." Here it's worth less than dirt.
Combustible Celluloid - 9/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonPeculiarly bad. It's one of those total misfires that wanders so far off the track that you're left scratching your head.
Ebert Presents At The Movies - 7/10 by Ignatiy VishnevetskyThe very definition of a cinematic curiosity: a movie that seems almost too strange to exist.
NewsBlaze - 6/10 by Prairie MillerBlack Swan meets Water For Elephants, sort of. And is Mickey Rourke's male cougar character's obsession with his leading lady's wings in this post-mortem noir, possibly suspect intimations of either bestiality or necrophilia? Who cares.
New York Post - 6/10 by Kyle SmithEven when scary, Murray is somehow funny, too, and he steals the show as always.
Wall Street Journal - 6/10 by Joe MorgensternEvery now and then a movie's awfulness rises to the level of mystery.
New York Times - 6/10 by Stephen HoldenYou might reasonably assume that any movie starring Mr. Rourke and Mr. Murray would have to have something to recommend it. But aside from a haunting musical interlude, in which Mr. Rourke, with pathetic ineptitude, mimes playing a trumpet, Passion Play is barely palatable.
Indiewire - 5/10 by Eric KohnThe reality is that Passion Play has a few good ideas that simply don't hold together. More of a miscalculation than an outright dud, it takes the form of a wildly surreal western fantasy, something that Chilean madman Alejandro Jodorowsky ("El Topo") could have executed with more rigorous invention.
Filmcritic.com - 5/10 by Christopher Nullso awkwardly assembled, so self-seriously preachy that it's actually exhausting to watch
The Hollywood Reporter - 4/10 by Ray BennettIf the degree of laughter at the wrong moments and the number of walkouts at the Toronto International Film Festival are any indication, the film will appeal only to the most fondly indulgent.
