More whiny downer than corruscating commentary.

Reviews for Love in the Time of Money
It doesn't help that the director and cinematographer Stephen Kazmierski shoot on grungy video, giving the whole thing a dirty, tasteless feel.
11/22/02
The latest vapid actor's exercise to appropriate the structure of Arthur Schnitzler's Reigen.
12/06/02
Mattei is tiresomely grave and long-winded, as if circularity itself indicated profundity.
10/29/02
Despite the evocative aesthetics evincing the hollow state of modern love life, the film never percolates beyond a monotonous whine.
08/21/02
Top CriticWill probably be one of those movies barely registering a blip on the radar screen of 2002.
11/03/02
Absurdities and clichés accumulate like lint in a fat man's navel.
10/28/02
A work that lacks both a purpose and a strong pulse.
10/31/02
Top CriticThe parts are better than the whole (bizarre, funny, tragic - like love in New York).
09/08/02
Feels more like an exercise for the cast and a calling card project for Mattei than a full-blooded film.
01/29/09
There has been a string of ensemble cast romances recently ... but Peter Mattei's Love in the Time of Money sets itself apart by forming a chain of relationships that come full circle to end on a positive (if tragic) note.
11/01/02
The film ultimately offers nothing more than people in an urban jungle needing other people to survive...
10/31/02
An intriguing cinematic omnibus and round-robin that occasionally is more interesting in concept than in execution.
11/02/02
Mattei so completely loses himself to the film's circular structure to ever offer any insightful discourse on, well, Love in the Time of Money.
10/28/02
If this is an example of the type of project that Robert Redford's lab is willing to lend its imprimatur to, then perhaps it's time to rethink independent films.
11/21/02
Too clever by about nine-tenths.
11/27/02
An undistinguished attempt to make a classic theater piece cinematic.
10/23/02
The problems of the people in Love in the Time of Money are hardly specific to their era. They just have problems, which are neither original nor are presented in convincing way.
11/22/02
Anemic chronicle of money grubbing New Yorkers and their serial loveless hook ups.
10/31/02
It is a great character study that ranks with Paul Thomas Anderson's epic Magnolia.
