Movie Reviews

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeIf all it did was return that rarest of commodities to the movies -- the element of genuinely wanting to know what's going to happen next -- Punch-Drunk Love would be worth your time. It just happens that it does that %u2013 and a good deal more.
eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Collin SouterThis is not your stupid fratboy's Adam Sandler. This is Romantic Comedy done right for a change and is one of the year's very best films.
eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Erik ChildressP.T. Anderson understands the grandness of romance and how love is the great equalizer that can calm us of our daily ills and bring out joys in our lives that we never knew were possible.
Netflix - 10/10 by James RocchiSeemingly bizarre teaming of Paul Thomas Anderson and Adam Sandler is a weird, slight and sideways -- yet delightful -- romantic comedy.
Film Journal International - 10/10 by Erica AbeelA sustained fest of self-congratulation between actor and director that leaves scant place for the viewer.
Cinenganos - 10/10 by Alex Ramirez...una de las más hermosas historias de amor jamás filmadas...
Philadelphia Inquirer - 10/10 by Steven ReaWith its feverish, percussive soundtrack and bravura cinematography, is like a bolt from the blue, chock-full of unexpected delight.
Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversAnderson orchestrates a comic romance like no other. The effect is intoxicating. Sandler and the movie will knock you for a loop.
Washington Post - 10/10 by Desson ThomsonThrough this miasma of pain and suffering, love may not flicker more strongly than a dim lamp. But it's the only beacon to consider. Can Barry find his? Thanks to Anderson's assured picture, a symphony of cinematic textures, that disarmingly simple question becomes incredibly compelling.
Sun Publications (Chicago, IL) - 10/10 by Josh LarsenMovie romance hasn't been this rapturous since `Moulin Rouge.'
