Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The transplant didn't take in Barfly, and it works no better here in Factotum. In each case, the baying of the boozehounds just seems repetitious and banal -- the noise endures but the joy is gone.
– Rick Groen,

rotten:
Quite dull, truth be told. As good as Dillon and Taylor are in their roles, making us side with them even as we despise them, there's not a whole lot that happens in a life ruled by the bottle, the butt and the shag.
– Peter Howell,
Toronto Star,
1 Dec 2006
fresh:
This is one of the best movies of the year, and one of the two or three best performances.
– Roger Moore,
Orlando Sentinel,

fresh:
Factotum is right up there with Barfly as a distillation of Bukowskian badinage, despite the current film's sketchier provenance.
– Andrew Sarris,
New York Observer,

fresh:
Dillon is better now that he's settled into sturdy middle age. He makes more sense; I never got him as a Tiger Beat centerfold.
