Rating: 0/4 -- As a movie, this material, freely adapted by Stoppard, is boring and endless. It lies flat on the screen, hardly stirring. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- Really head-twisting adaptation of the play with fine work from Oldman and Roth.

...On stage, the sprightly teleological riffs and bebop dialogue delight as ends in themselves. Here they're leaden and compromised. What happened? Full Review

Staged as they are here, the jokes and the fourth-wall gamesmanship don't seem as funny as they did on the page. Full Review

Both Oldman and Roth turn in flat and uninspiring performances. Full Review

As happens at the opera, one usually laughs (if one laughs at all) not because something is funny, but because one has successfully recognized that it is supposed to be funny.
