Reviews for Dot the I
Top CriticThe result is funny in its way, and in line with the movie references throughout, but ultimately the viewer is not left with the necessary pathos.

Dark, funny, quite a thriller... It's a forgettable title (that doesn't work in English), but you won't forget the wicked fun of the movie.
04/15/05
Even when you don't believe what Bernal and the effervescent Verbeke are doing, it's fun to watch them do it.
04/21/05
...benefits greatly from the inclusion of a thoroughly unpredictable third-act twist...

Here's something you don't find everyday! An original film superbly acted!
03/11/05
The revelation of the film is not Bernal but D'Arcy, who loafs from a callow throwaway part into something a heck of a lot more interesting.
03/11/05
A curious mélange that works more often than not.
05/20/05
Don't miss this one.

'Un filme inteligente y perfectamente bien estructurado en el que nada es lo que parece'
01/09/04
It's a hugely entertaining thriller disguised as a chick flick.
04/01/05
A weird, pretty film with a dumb script, a skilled cast and a good twist, plus one hot sex scene and one brilliant scene-chew by D'Arcy.
05/20/05
Satisfies and disturbs in just about equal measure.
03/18/05
Filled with passion and humor as well as suspense.
03/12/05
Gael Garcia Bernal I think is really becoming a major force as a leading man. He’s very good.
03/21/05
The movie not only scatters undotted Is and uncrossed Ts in its wake, but unsquared circles, unfactored primes, unrisen souffles and unconsummated consummations.
04/14/05
Top CriticNot only strains to connect the dots, but also pretends to be some thoughtful treatise on cinema versus reality. Sadly, it's just a tired bag of tricks.
03/11/05
Top CriticParkhill ... proves himself a capable handler of actors (especially with the ludicrously hot Natalia Verbeke), but his narrative could really stand to lose some tinsel.
03/24/05
... starts off intriguingly but is eventually scuttled on the shoals of plot contrivance.
03/24/05
A gimmicky first-time feature that bears all the unfortunate earmarks of an ambitious but empty directorial vision.
