Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Although the miniseries spent time developing the strands of the interwoven stories, the movie flits from idea to idea and plays like a chaotic, failed experiment.
– Bill Muller,

fresh:
It stands completely on Downey's tragi-comic performance, although the rest of the cast -- particularly Penn and Gibson -- do good work as well.
– Tom Long,

rotten:
The Singing Detective has to settle for a hung jury.
