All surface, no thought and quite horribly empty.

Restless is consciously lovely in the face of death. How rare.
Tom Long, Detroit News

This low-budget movie takes its time filling in the backgrounds of its characters. That works for a while, but when it's over you may wonder if that's all there is.
John Hartl, Seattle Times

Gus Van Sant doesn't make bad movies.
