Now is Slipstream worth seeing? I think so, if you'll actively engage your sympathy with Hopkins' attempt to do something tricky and difficult. If you want to lie back and let the movie come to you, you may be lying there a long time.

By Roger Ebert FULL REVIEW

Slipstream is a properly bizarre journey.

Los Angeles Times

Taking a cue from David Lynch, Hopkins fractures the narrative from the first frame, but unlike Lynch he doesn't go far enough in establishing a context from which to deviate. If the story fragments we're watching spring from the same mind, in other words, it's not obvious.

By Carina Chocano FULL REVIEW

TV Guide Magazine

If not exactly dull, Hopkins' stream-of-consciousness rant is nonetheless self-indulgent and crammed with bits of business that never add up to anything much.

By Maitland McDonagh FULL REVIEW

The film has moments of goofy delight, some pseudo-David Lynch spookery and a couple of comic supporting turns.

By Andrew O'Hehir FULL REVIEW

Apparently needing to release some private thoughts, musings and images to the world, Anthony Hopkins takes a leap into stunning self-indulgence with his directorial debut, Slipstream.

By Robert Koehler FULL REVIEW

At 96 minutes, this vanity/insanity project runs a bit long; five minutes would have been plenty.
