While the "unemployed critic's" review seems well rehearsed, it's a pity that he/she seems to rate every movie according to it's adherance to the normal dramatic movie "syntax". Most prevalent in the review was the "critic's" mention of the scene where Tommy fishes the cigarette butts out of the toilet as "...of such immediate poignancy, which cannot penetrate his (director's) stilted direction and are left to die in front of a rudely snickering audience" Perhaps one should consider that such realistic deviance from the usually expected 'cushy-music moment' is an intended illustration of the real vs. surreal moment that such a scene would be in any actual life.
I thought the movie was great. Not your typical "Forrest Gump", but artfully detached and thus successfully emotion provoking.
Go Duchovny.
