Consensus: A gothic fairytale that catches director Tim Burton and star Johnny Depp at the top of their games.

Reviews for Edmond
Incredulity grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go.

William H. Macey (a David Mamet regular) gives a moving performance as a desperate man, but his work is curtailed by the playwright's starchy, semi-academic dialogue, and Stuart Gordon's direction doesn't help much either.

Começando com a promessa de se revelar um novo Um Dia de Fúria ("Uma Noite...", neste caso), o filme jamais alcança a intensidade esperada e se enfraquece ainda mais em seu terceiro ato desajeitadamente satírico. Mas Macy está genial.

None of it rings true for even a NYC second.
12/20/06
Quintessential David Mamet: brainy, playful, engaging.
11/17/06
It's not exactly a "happy" movie, but it sure is a fascinating one.
11/15/06
Every moment of Edmond is extraordinary.
11/11/06
...a powerful film, but not a completely coherent one.
10/13/06
Edmond is a failure as a story, but it's such a provocative and involving failure that it's worth a peek or two.
10/05/06
An intriguing, disquieting, but ultimately overdrawn nightmare.
10/01/06
Gordon's direction here lacks any subtlety, as does this bitter material.
09/29/06
Gordon can't quite get a handle on this odd material, and fails to moderate Macy's performance.
09/23/06
Even William H. Macy's raw, spare performance cannot save Edmond from distastefulness almost beyond imagination.
09/08/06
...Gordon brings this hellish and funny look at one man's freefall into his basest instincts just the right touch of reality viewed through fun house mirrors.
09/03/06
The last handful of scenes, featuring Bokeem Woodbine as an acquaintance of Edmond's, are worth the price of a ticket.

A consistently stimulating viewing experience.
08/26/06
It's a wordy script and, in its own profane way, a beautiful one, but it's the words that aren't said that are the most crucial.
08/25/06
As with most Mamet scripts, this includes multiple monologues, and the cast delivers them with fervor. But the delivery can't conceal that these diatribes are directed at topics that no longer are pertinent.
