Movie Reviews

EURWeb - 9/10 by Kam WilliamsWhat makes the movie satisfying is the fact that its ethnic tensions are never overtly exacerbated, but rather subtly illustrated simply by the comparison of the decadent malaise of the spoiled-rotten versus the neverending nightmare of the have-nots.
AV Club - 8/10 by Nathan RabinThe Architect wears its heavy social consciousness like an albatross, and Tauber's plodding, earnest direction does little to wean the material away from its stage roots.
Reeler - 8/10 by Michelle OrangeIt is frustrating to watch the film blow some respectable capital on indulgence in narrative frippery.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - 7/10 by Andrew WrightSkids mightily in the transition from three to two dimensions.
Salon.com - 7/10 by Andrew O'HehirIt's a compact and symmetrical picture with all its plot points in the right places, but I never found it convincing in the slightest.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe modest comedy uses the social climbing upper- middle-class to be the butt of its satirical humor.
TV Guide - 6/10 by Maitland McDonaghLaPaglia and Davis deliver top-notch performances that go a long way toward offsetting the material's didacticism.
Boxoffice Magazine - 6/10 by Richard MoweAn award-winning architect finds himself pitted against a resident who has to live in one of his deteriorating housing blocks in Chicago in Matt Tauber's thoughtful second feature.
Boston Globe - 6/10 by Michael HardyPerhaps urban-planning solutions are too much to expect from a Friday night at the movies, but in a film this ambitious, the evident lack of thought put into the problem is disappointing. As any architect knows, it's easier to tear down than to build up.
Chicago Tribune - 6/10 by Michael WilmingtonIt's a fairly well-written piece and an even better acted one. And these days, when independent films are increasingly the salvation of the serious American dramatic movie, it's heartening to see something like The Architect, which tries to reawaken a major American dramatic tradition and sometimes succeeds.
