This underworld fairy tale is so soggy and sentimental it's like a new genre: Hallmark noir.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

The net effect is as if someone had set out to imitate a David Lynch movie without ever having seen one, or as if it had been directed by Wim Wenders (which is approximately the same thing).

Conjuring magic, it goes abracadabra and snaps its fingers, but nothing happens.
