Slipstream ultimately winds up an avant-garde film that just ain't all that avant.
Steven Boone, Newark Star-Ledger
Overview
Aging screenwriter Felix Bonhoeffer has lived his life in two states of existence: in reality and his own interior world.

Slipstream is an experiment in visual stream-of-consciousness, but stream-of-consciousness fares better as a literary form than a cinematic one.
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Slipstream is Anthony Hopkins's third film as a director and his first as a quasi-avant-garde filmmaker working well outside the mainstream.

Leave it to a 69-year-old actor to make the year's most experimental film.
