	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Is some kind of sweet, wacky masterpiece. It takes all sorts of risks, including a dual role with Edward Norton playing twin brothers, and it pulls them off."	POS
United States	Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter	"The direction is sloppy and scenes often indifferently framed, which is surprising from a filmmaker who has shown himself capable of better"	NEG
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"Mr. Norton is a pleasure to watch, and so is everyone else."	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"One Edward Norton performance is often enough reason to see a movie, so it comes as no surprise that the prospect of two -- he plays twins -- is very much the main attraction, and reward, of 'Leaves of Grass'."	NEU
United States	Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly	"The movie bubbles with intellectual curiosity and narrative ambition."	POS
