Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
This ambitious and sometimes entertaining Brazilian feature tries to pull off a tricky maneuver but doesn't quite get it done.
– Walter V. Addiego,
San Francisco Chronicle,
27 May 2005
rotten:
Remains never better than fair to middling pleasant.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,
3 Jun 2005
fresh:
Even after it loses its way, the movie suggests a world where anything can happen and no one -- certainly not the girl of one's dreams -- is quite who he or she seems to be.
– Ty Burr,
Boston Globe,
24 Jun 2005

This Brazilian film starts as a quirky romantic comedy before suddenly becoming a violent crime drama. It's a radical turn, so much so that it almost goes over a cliff.
– Jeff Strickler,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,

fresh:
The Man Who Copied unfolds into a movie with a split personality, and the second half is no reproduction of the first.
