    The Architect is like the framework of a building, something that looks like it has potential but which can’t be used until it is finished. The characters in this movie need to be fleshed out with more detail. Everyone is unhappy, everyone has a problem but it is never made clear as to why they are unhappy, and what caused their problems. The acting was decent but the story lacked cohesiveness and content.… Expand

    The Architect wears its heavy social consciousness like an albatross, and Tauber's plodding, earnest direction does little to wean the material away from its stage roots.

    Still feels stagebound, inert when it needs to be cinematic.

    Despite an intriguing premise in which the architect of a housing project is confronted by a resident-turned-activist who wants his help in getting the place torn down, Matt Tauber's The Architect feels schematic and contrived.
