the conclusion comes across as tacked-on, padded to get the thing to feature length. That's an unfortunate way to wrap up an otherwise sweet little movie.

The result plays like a half-baked tribute to Wings of Desire.

Top CriticStrained dialogue, awkward mise-en-scene and weirdly uncomfortable thesping from superlative players contribute to a drearily self-reflective conceit.
09/08/07
Top CriticPaul Auster's suffocating romance makes you feel as if you're helplessly stuck inside the head of the most pretentious person you know.
09/07/07
Thanks to the lumbering pace of Auster's script and the lugubrious way he directs this ostensible romantic fantasy, Martin and his muse fail, miserably, to amuse.
09/07/07

09/06/07
What starts out as a clever exploration of consciousness quickly descends into underplotted folly.
09/04/07
A fanciful and enganging metaphysical mystery about a writer, two beauties, love and the challenges of the creative process.
09/03/07
The inner life of Martin Frost reeks of misogyny and the film that enshrines his egomania makes half-assed aspirations to Goethe.
