Leave your thoughts about The Death and Life of Otto Bloom.
| The Sunday AgeCraig MathiesonCris Jones' debut feature is that rare thing: a mock documentary that reaches a genuine emotional depth. |
| Concrete PlaygroundSarah WardIntriguing on paper, underwhelming in execution. |
| Daily Telegraph (Australia)Vicky RoachThe Death and Life of Otto Bloom stands alongside such Hollywood heavy-hitters on the basis of its sheer ingenuity. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Travis Johnsonan astute, ambitious offering that understands that, while production value may be expensive, ideas are free |
| 3AWJim SchembriAs far as arthouse fare goes, it's a well-made, theme-rich venture that deploys a variety of inventive techniques, though the debt the film owes to Woody Allen's seminal 1983 work Zelig is worn a little too clearly on its sleeve. |
| The AustralianDavid StrattonSounds intriguing? It certainly is, but the trouble is that Jones's abilities don't quite match his ambitions. |
| The Age (Australia)Jake WilsonThe best to be said for this tiresome exercise in magic realism is that it feels like a film the writer-director Cris Jones, an Australian making his first feature, may have needed to get out of his system. |
