ErinOct 23, 20048Twist is a movie that is complex yet it drags through some parts. Nick Stahl's performance is well crafted and keeps the audience watching and feeling for his character. Toronto is actually called Toronto in the film since the film makers decided not to pretend it was a large American city.

CCroweNov 21, 20059Subtle, gritty with excellent acting. I liked the low key but honest emotional story. Not Hollywood style - much better. Extraordinary considering the age of the writer/director.

Stahl plays just one note: anguish. You know things are bad when the most interesting character, the menacing brute Bill Sykes, is never heard or seen on-screen.

70Shot on location in subdued colors, Twist offers much less hope for its troubled characters than Dickens did. Its very downbeat vision may turn off auds, which is a pity because the film has a great many qualities, not least the admirable performances of Stahl, Close and Pelletier.

63Unfortunately, despite some strong performances, the movie never really makes a case for its own existence.
