Movie Reviews

New Yorker - 8/10 by Richard BrodyThe movie's disparate elements are unified less by the plot than by Rudolph's distinctive, rhapsodic style, with its sinuous long takes and archly elusive performances.
The Spectator - 8/10 by Hilary MantelIf you have ever had trouble taking the Twenties seriously, this flawed but engaging film will give you much pleasure.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertIt takes place at that enchanted moment in Paris when the Lost Generation created itself and then proceeded to create, promote, fabricate and publicize modern literature, art, music and attitudes.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 8/10 by Ken HankeA casually absurd, surprisingly playful look into the lives of American expatriates --Gertrude Stein's famous "lost generation" -- in post-World War I Paris.
Washington Post - 7/10 by Desson ThomsonRudolph's weaknesses pale before the film's overriding textures: Toyomichi Kurita's cinematography exquisitely crosses color with sepia and blacks and whites.
Classic Film and Television - 6/10 by Michael E. GrostFascinating film about painters in 1920's Paris
New York Times - 2/10 by Vincent CanbyA movie that makes an afternoon with Gertrude and Alice more boring than a faculty tea.
User Review - 10/10 by David DExceptional film even by Alan Rudolph's standards. A funny, sexy, graceful meditation on the nature of art.
User Review - 10/10 by Olli MParis, 1920s. Need I say more? Vintage Alan Rudolph, great characters, fine epoch portrayal, thrilling plot, a wonderful music score.
User Review - 10/10 by Olsen RI've wanted to be this movie. I know it's not great but I love it so.
