Movie Reviews

Variety - 9/10 by Rob NelsonA literary film that stands to work best for those who don't read, The Words is a slick, superficially clever compendium of stories about authors of uncertain talent and varying success.
Deadspin - 9/10 by Will LeitchA movie about a bad author who steals the book of a good author, and I'm pretty certain that The Words, if pressed, wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
The Patriot Ledger - 9/10 by Al AlexanderIt's nothing you haven't seen before in films about struggling artists spending more time obsessing than working.
Urban Cinefile - 9/10 by Andrew L. UrbanA fable and a lesson, but it is a thoroughly enjoyable one, delivered with masterful performances and a great sense of storytelling tradition
Blu-ray.com - 9/10 by Brian OrndorfRiveting, illuminating, and communicative...for about 45 minutes.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 9/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)Unfortunately, none of these characters feels worthy of our -- or the movie's -- attention.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyThere's considerable gap between the film's ambition, which is to be a high-minded literary feature a la Atonement or The Hours, and its actual level of execution.
Urban Cinefile - 9/10 by Louise KellerA wonderful screenplay in which three stories are skilfully interwoven to deliver a rich and satisfying film that questions integrity above all else
Philadelphia Inquirer - 8/10 by Steven ReaAmazingly, though, Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal, cowriters and codirectors of The Words, have the audacity - and the skill sets - to pull this all off. They wrest emotional truth out of hokum. They also wrest intelligent, nuanced performances from their cast.
jackiekcooper.com - 8/10 by Jackie K. CooperThe look of the film, the intensity of the stories within stories, the musical score, and above all the nuanced acting by Cooper, Quaid and Jeremy Irons make this more than an ordinary film.
