AUDIENCE SCORE
User Ratings: 34,106
Rating: 2/5 -- If you need a working definition for bad Jarmusch, look no further than The Limits of Control, which functions more as a wilful act of self-pleasuring than worthwhile experiment. Full Review
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Dec 11, 2009
Rating: 8/10 -- By surprising us with repetitions, Jarmusch suggests that we shouldn't take these events as literal, traditional storytelling. This is play -- serious play. Full Review
Looking Closer
May 7, 2010
Rating: 3.5/4 -- The visual and the aural are what make this film such a delight to watch, as Mr. Jarmusch is a metafilmmaker who delights in subverting film's narrative conventions and genre expectations. Full Review
Washington Times

This is a demanding film that will no doubt fuel the art-house naysayers, yet set against a vivid Spanish canvas Jarmusch's poetic pretensions become not only explicable but palatable as well.

Jim Jarmusch's nonchalant and precise Limits of Control moves through real landscapes in Spain, city and nowhere, his two favorite places. Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- ...a Zen gangster film, a mandala that scatters itself at the end. Its very quietude and uneventfulness force you into the moment every moment... Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- It's bold, confrontational cinema that will, as its author intended, have you questioning at every turn just what it is you expect from a modern movie, and more importantly, why. Full Review
