    Hurt gives an astonishingly sensitive and funny performance as the bedazzled intellectual, and first-time filmmaker Kwietniowski unfolds the story with an unfailing blend of humor and compassion.

    The first-time writer-director, Englishman Richard Kwietniowski, has adapted Gilbert Adair's novel with wit, economy and a delicate understanding that the funniest comedies are played with dead seriousness.

    John Hurt is simply wonderful -- acerbic, funny and heartbreaking.

    The interactions between the raspy-voiced Hurt and various shallowly cheerful Americans are genuinely charming and dynamic.

    What a nasty unpleasant film. I am usually not this far off from the critics. I found it boring and useless. Go figure. John Hurt was good, but the film was so pretentious and uninvolving. Yuk.… Expand

    Terribly corny and awfully precedented. Avoid at all costs.
