though it 's not very well shot or composed or edited , the score is too insistent and the dialogue is frequently overwrought and crudely literal , the film shatters you in waves .

satin rouge is not a new , or inventive , journey , but it 's encouraging to see a three-dimensional , average , middle-aged woman 's experience of self-discovery handled with such sensitivity .

due to stodgy , soap opera-ish dialogue , the rest of the cast comes across as stick figures reading lines from a teleprompter .

it 's so crammed with scenes and vistas and pretty moments that it 's left a few crucial things out , like character development and coherence .

noyce has worked wonders with the material .

a sometimes incisive and sensitive portrait that is undercut by its awkward structure and a final veering toward melodrama .

no thanks .

a sleek advert for youthful anomie that never quite equals the sum of its pretensions .

some movies were made for the big screen , some for the small screen , and some , like ballistic : ecks vs. sever , were made for the palm screen .

`` on guard ! ''

a minor work yet there 's no denying the potency of miller 's strange , fleeting brew of hopeful perseverance and hopeless closure .

a confident , richly acted , emotionally devastating piece of work and 2002 's first great film

labute 's careful handling makes the material seem genuine rather than pandering .

the whole film has this sneaky feel to it -- as if the director is trying to dupe the viewer into taking it all as very important simply because the movie is ugly to look at and not a hollywood product .

an inelegant combination of two unrelated shorts that falls far short of the director 's previous work in terms of both thematic content and narrative strength .
