Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertHere is a movie so absorbing, so atmospheric, so suspenseful and so dumb, that it proves my point: The subject matter doesn't matter in a movie nearly as much as mood, tone and style.
ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliIt is involving and entertaining, and features an intriguing, independent heroine.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Elvis MitchellThis story has now been gracefully adapted by Bille August into a sleek, good-looking film that captures the book's peculiar fascination.
Variety - 7/10 by David StrattonAn exceedingly sleek and handsome thriller, this ambitious European co-production, like the novel on which it's quite faithfully based, starts intriguingly but fails to stay the distance.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzIf you can be satisfied with just the film's atmosphere, then you might feel adequately nourished.
USA Today - 6/10 by Mike ClarkThis tough-to-peg whodunit keeps you going for two hours, despite a few James Bond-ish (or Jane Bond-ish) turns that play less preposterously than you might assume were they to be divulged.
Lawrence Journal-World - 6/10 by Jon NiccumOdd, atmospheric thriller that completely falls apart in the finale
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Kenneth TuranThough enlivened by occasional touches, "Smilla's" is like the food at Taco Bell: exotic only to someone who hasn't experienced the real thing.
San Francisco Chronicle - 5/10 by Ruthe SteinVanessa Redgrave makes a regal if too-brief appearance.
San Francisco Examiner - 5/10 by Barbara ShulgasserThis is the kind of story that might have been interesting had it not been populated with dreary characters played by actors who were clearly coached to be as dull as possible.
