A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III | Rotten Tomatoes (original) (raw)

J. R. Jones Chicago Reader This giant turkey was produced, written, and directed by Roman Coppola, who must have thought the dumb fantasy sequences, steeped in movieland imagery, would remind people of 8-1/2 (or, at the very least, Head). Feb 15, 2013 Full Review Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle The audience finds out just how long 84 minutes can be. The answer: really long. Rated: 1/4 Feb 14, 2013 Full Review Peter Howell Toronto Star Perhaps the best thing that can be said about the film is that it adequately depicts the narcissism of its star ... Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 14, 2013 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Crafted like a sort of watered down Wes Anderson sketch, Coppola fails to utilize his main attraction effectively, and thwarts us with this tonally awkward exercise. Aug 7, 2019 Full Review Sarah Gopaul Digital Journal Though the transitions from real to imagined can be jarring, the picture remains cohesive because the discussions between scenes remain consistent. Oct 22, 2018 Full Review Richard Haridy Quickflix It's rare to witness a film with such a profound disconnect between the director's intention and the final product. It's clear Coppola is striving for some kind of meaningful sublime statement but in reality he has created an interminably vacuous picture. Rated: 1/5 Nov 25, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

steve d A self indulgent mess of a film that has no idea what it wants to be. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Terry S A tremendous waste of talent and MONEY !! My God --The money wasted ! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/04/21 Full Review Audience Member Interesting collection of actors but I was expecting more, kind of incoherent and a mess. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member You could probably put Bill Murray in a movie called "The Adventures of Jar Jar Binks on Battlefield Earth" and he would find a way to save the movie or at least pull it into the 2-star range. But even Bill Murray couldn't save this train wreck. Horrible film. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the worst piece of s$#t movie I have ever seen. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/20 Full Review Audience Member It's a mess and I loved it; but not in the so-bad-it's-good way, in its own wacky, stylishly dreamy way. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
