User Review - 10/10 by Tony JA great and very unique film. Put it out on DVD now!!!
User Review - 6/10 by Zoran SThe Golden Boat isn't the best Raoul Ruiz film, though as Jonathan Rosenbaum has noted, categories of good and bad don't properly apply to his work. It is, however, his first English language film shot in what looks like two days in New York. Though it is as visually baroque and narratively baffling as his best films, it lacks the bottomless metaphysical quality of films like Three Crowns of a Sailor. Still, the nonsensical and repetitive dialogue and its general imagination makes it worth watching. It's just probably not going to make a lot of sense to anyone unfamiliar with Ruiz's peculiar brand of surrealism if that is even the right term to use, or anyone expecting anything remotely dramatically coherent.
