Top Critics Reviews

With its cast of nauseatingly lovable lunatics, House of Fools may make you feel like you've been tricked into suffering through the Kevin Spacey flick K-Pax with subtitles.
– Eleanor Ringel Gillespie,

There's not much to Konchalovsky's tale ... but it's often beautifully told; a gentle fantasy of a harsh time.
– Moira MacDonald,
