Movie Reviews

Houston Chronicle - 9/10 by Eric HarrisonThe movie goes way over the top near the end, but unlike Hollywood films, which would've added violence and a car chase, The Operator's excesses all are in keeping with its theme.
Film Journal International - 9/10 by Harry HaunThe film would benefit from another pair of eyes.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Michael AtkinsonWould be insufferably preachy if it weren't such a rookie's-first-day botch.
Baseline.Hollywood.com - 7/10 by Ted Murphy... a showcase for Michael Laurence, a little-known New York theater actor, who delivers a persuasive and finely detailed portrait of a despicable man.
Spirituality and Practice - 7/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatIt's not very often you get to see a feature film in which Hindu, Buddhist, and Christian wisdom work together to save a person's soul.
Dallas Morning News - 6/10 by Jane SumnerExcept for its excesses and too-easy end, Mr. Dichter's original script takes us into Coen country.
