Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A work of dazzling formal discipline that riffs on the simple notion of repetition and variation.
– David Jenkins,

rotten:
This is indulgent filmmaking at its most pretentious.
– Roger Moore,
Orlando Sentinel,

fresh:
The movie's main pleasure lies in the early scenes, which mix the filmmaker's familiar deadpan humor with an Antonioni-like sense of arid emptiness and conundrum.
– J. R. Jones,
Chicago Reader,

rotten:
Distracted by the minutiae of the rituals he has constructed, Jarmusch seems unconcerned about making a point, or even constructing a coherent story.
– Greg Quill,

rotten:
Paint drying. Photosynthesis. Rush-hour traffic. All these activities would be more entertaining to watch -- and probably speedier -- than Jim Jarmusch's The Limits of Control.
