Movie Reviews

Combustible Celluloid - 10/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonIt's really a decent exploitation film disguised as a proper art film.
Groucho Reviews - 9/10 by Peter CanaveseFor labyrinth-lovers...a thoughtful and entertaining murder mystery predicated on intellectual debate. [Blu-ray]
Flipside Movie Emporium - 9/10 by Rob VauxA well-played medieval murder mystery, featuring a lot of good-looking men with really bad haircuts.
Miami Herald - 9/10 by Bill CosfordThe film’s packed with messages in invisible ink, secret staircases, and corpses in cauldrons of pig’s blood. And since ? Connery’s bald as a cue ball, that means no distracting Hanksian haircuts!
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA spiritual thriller that holds up thanks to its rich themes and great acting
The Film Yap - 8/10 by Nick RogersUmberto Eco seems unduly dismissive of a film that had to excise his postmodern trappings and scholarly sidebars. But it hasn't just been stripped down to a tawdry whodunit. Here, albeit in a streamlined way, the whydunit matters as much, if not more.
Newsweek - 8/10 by David AnsenA little slow-moving but ultimately rewarding.
Movie Metropolis - 7/10 by John J. PuccioHow you accept an English monk with a Scottish accent and the mind of a Sherlock Holmes is the question.
Chicago Sun-Times - 6/10 by Roger EbertWhat this movie needs is a clear, spare, logical screenplay. It's all inspiration and no discipline.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Sheila BensonYes, it is splendid that anyone would take on so formidable a project as Eco’s 500-page chambered nautilus of a novel. Yes, this certainly feels like a 14th-Century Italian abbey, bleak, drafty and forbidding. Yes, it looks like it too--the 14th-Century as cast by Federico Fellini, every face a grotesque. But no, sad to say, it isn’t a perfectly marvelous film.
