---|---|---|---|---|
"A small, self-contained gem of incisive writing, superb acting and rich, expressive visuals." | ||||
"Before it disappears into a fog of confusion and damaging contradictions within its characters, The Dying Gaul presents an ironic, provocative look at what its creator, Craig Lucas, calls a postmodern Hollywood noir. | ||||
"Has too many contrivances, but as an act of sinister staging, it proves Lucas, the noted playwright, to be a born filmmaker." | ||||
"Despite a reliable cast led by Scott, Patricia Clarkson and Peter Sarsgaard, the human impact is ultimately lost in a too calculated scenario." | ||||
"Lucas' beautiful script and a trio of first-rate performances carry the material with an intermittently breathtaking urgency." | ||||
"'The Dying Gaul' has the best kind of story in that it unfolds as a series of surprises, and yet every step, twist and turn seems inevitable in retrospect." |
