Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertNot all of it works, but you play along, because it's rare to find a film this ambitious.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin Thomas[Figgis's] most venturesome, most personal - and least accessible film to date. If you open your mind and trust him completely, it's possible to experience the wrenching impact of this ravishingly beautiful and highly distinctive film.
ColeSmithey.com - 8/10 by Cole SmitheyA promising movie from Mike Figgis. Where are you Mike?
ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliThe Loss of Sexual Innocence is not a masterpiece (at times, its obtuseness can seem ponderous and pretentious), it is nevertheless a fascinating experience, with the focus being on the artistic elements inherent in the medium rather than on the narrative.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Ruthe SteinIt's visually stunning, especially in scenes of the African countryside, and takes more risks than most independent films.
Film Threat - 7/10 by Ron WellsThere's some darn poignant stuff going on here.... The problem is that the audience will try to connect everything to the explicit Eden analogy, and not everything will. The director wins points for enticing you to figure it out, though, and I did enjoy it.
Slate - 7/10 by David EdelsteinMuch of it is risible, yet I loved watching it -not because I thought that the emperor was wearing new clothes but because I thought he looked fine - beautiful, actually - naked. Figgis' camera is probing and alive, so that even when his meanings are laughable, his images remain allusive and mysterious.
Variety - 7/10 by Emanuel LevyBoasting sublime imagery, but no characters to ground his reverie, the new pic heavily relies on an opaque narrative and elliptical editing.
Entertainment Weekly - 7/10 by Owen GleibermanIt's one of those woozy Jungian art jobs, a series of elliptical, nearly wordless vignettes that are meant to strike a universal symbolist chord. Director Mike Figgis frames the movie with his baroquely contemporary documentary-like version of the Fall.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Jack MathewsMuch of the film is a nearly wordless tone poem that sustains an intense emotional gravity and sexual tension through its mixture of music, beautiful outdoor cinematography and somber, silent acting.
