Rating: 2/5 --
A Hole in One aspires to the Sirkian social satire of Todd Haynes' Far From Heaven, but the result is closer to a Coen brothers film with all the funny parts removed.

Los Angeles Times
Rating: 1.5/4 --
Director-writer Richard Ledes shows better command of 1950s period atmosphere than he does of either his subject or his cast.
New York Daily News
Rating: 2.5/5 --
Quirky to the point of irritation.
Filmcritic.com
First-time writer-director Richard Ledes's mystical tone and pervasive swipes from David Lynch tend to suffocate his satire, and stunt casting doesn't help.
Village Voice
Rating: 6/10 --
...from the opening titles, with their jangling ice-pick imagery, the film builds an appropriate sense of needling uneasiness...

All Movie Guide
Its overindulgence in pseudo-David Lynch stylistics provides yet another distraction from a potentially intriguing story.

L.A. Weekly
Rating: 2/4 --
The film's tapestry of snarky sights and sounds doesn't exactly shed a complex light on the social and emotional problems and behaviors of people who lived in '50s.

Product Description:
Written and directed by Richard Ledes, this quirky drama follows Anna (the always-excellent Michelle Williams), a troubled young woman living in small-town 1950s America who decides to sign up for a lobotomy from creepy pseudo-scientist Dr. Ashton (Bill Raymond), thinking that it will relieve her depression and ennui. Icetown's other inhabitants include Anna's abusive gangster boyfriend Billy (Meat Loaf, of all people) and his kind, gentle employee Tom (Tim Guinee), who becomes determined to prevent Anna from destroying her frontal lobe.
