Movie Reviews

Compuserve - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenThe most genre-bending film in recent memory is so bold and risky that it's a shame the diverse elements of the plot do not mesh.
Three Movie Buffs - 9/10 by Scott NashA quirky film that combines comedy, drama, film-noir, and musical numbers in such a way that they form something quite unlike your typical Hollywood movie.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Robin Cliffordthe big screen version seems rushed as they try to pack their ten pounds of sugar into a five-pound bag
Denver Post - 9/10 by Michael BoothThe new Singing Detective mirrors Potter's growth as well as his originality, and moving from television to silver screen feels like a rewarding round trip.
Eclipse Magazine - 9/10 by Sean O'ConnellBad pulp that results in flaccid fiction.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertThe movie does not propose to be a comedy, a musical, a film noir story or a medical account. It proposes to be a subjective view of suffering, and the ways this character tries to cope with it. Understand that, and the pieces fall into place.
Combustible Celluloid - 8/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonWatching Robert Downey Jr. perform is one of the great pleasures of going to the movies today.
ColeSmithey.com - 8/10 by Cole SmitheyThe film's colorful song-and-dance set pieces rely on lip-synced '50s songs that are the weakest link in a bumbling but gregarious movie.
Boston Herald - 8/10 by James VerniereWorth seeing on the basis of its cast alone, although the characters being played are often so impressionistic, even the superstar lineup ends up being a bit distracting.
New York Post - 8/10 by Jonathan ForemanIt is worth catching The Singing Detective to see the brilliant Robert Downey Jr. in another extraordinary performance... Unfortunately, the film itself doesn't really work despite its lineage.
