Leave your thoughts about The Merry Gentleman.
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaA sly and surprisingly sublime little noir romance. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongMichael Keaton the actor should work with Michael Keaton the director more. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonThis is a remarkable debut, touching on physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual planes all at once. I hope it's the first step in sending Keaton back to the A-list. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertOriginal, absorbing and curiously moving. |
| Washington TimesKelly Jane TorranceMiss Macdonald is an underrated actress, and she easily carries off the difficult task of being reticent but telling us everything. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA surprisingly tender, sensitive and intelligent drama with well-nuanced performances. It's a solid directorial debut from Michael Keaton. |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsKeaton is good, McDonald with her spooky equanimity and still-waters profundity even better. Sartre's Huis Clos? Forget that. This is hell, as moodily atmospheric as low-budget screen infernos get. |
| I.E. WeeklyAmy NicholsonWe're always aware of watching characters--not people--languish through the usual indie ennui. |
| New York TimesManohla DargisThe film’s title, needless to say, has an ironic bite. One of the pleasures of The Merry Gentleman is Mr. Keaton's commitment to that bite, which never registers as cruel or gratuitous, just honest, weary, sad. |
| AV ClubNathan RabinIf ever a film needed a double shot of espresso and a swift kick in the caboose, it's this one. At best, the film is hypnotic; at worst, it challenges--no, dares--audiences not to fall asleep. |
