Negative Positive
Title: This film seriously dents Paul Schrader's reputation .................
Review: It's not funny, it's not dramatic, it's not insightful, it's not entertaining. It is boring and pointless. I kept checking the dvd menu to see how much time was left.Peter Travers (Rolling Stone) said "POTENT AND PROVOCATIVE", when it is a flat, boring biopic that never causes you to wonder, "What happens next?".And as far as Ebert and Roeper saying, "TWO THUMBS UP, WAY UP!", words fail me. Does anyone know of a critic who can be trusted? Or have I missed the point regarding the role of critics, and who they owe allegiance to?
Is the review positive or negative?
