Ivans xtc. Reviews
Dallas Morning News
Tom Sime
A triumph, relentless and beautiful in its downbeat darkness.
Chicago Tribune
John Petrakis
I have no way of knowing exactly how much is exaggeration, but I've got a creepy feeling that the film is closer to the mark than I want to believe.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A remarkable film by Bernard Rose.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A committed, intelligent and fascinating piece of work with no irony about it.
New York Post
Megan Turner
Behind the glitz, Hollywood is sordid and disgusting. Quelle surprise!
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Contrived as this may sound, Mr. Rose's updating works surprisingly well.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
To the filmmakers, Ivan is a prince of a fellow, but he comes across as shallow and glib though not mean-spirited, and there's no indication that he's been responsible for putting together any movies of particular value or merit.
TheMovieChicks.com
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone
It's hard to say who might enjoy this, are there Tolstoy groupies out there? It's dark and tragic, and lets the business of the greedy talent agents get in the way of saying something meaningful about facing death
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
To the degree that ivans xtc. works, it's thanks to Huston's revelatory performance.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
It's tough to watch, but it's a fantastic movie.
Village Voice
Dennis Lim
Boldly engineering a collision between tawdry B-movie flamboyance and grandiose spiritual anomie, Rose's film, true to its source material, provides a tenacious demonstration of death as the great equalizer.
Film Journal International
Doris Toumarkine
With very little to add beyond the dark visions already relayed by superb recent predecessors like Swimming With Sharks and The Player, this latest skewering ... may put off insiders and outsiders alike.
E! Online
E! Staff
The reality-TV-like camera work takes some getting used to. And the even shakier editing, dialogue and acting quickly reveal this isn't exactly summer's big blockbuster.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
It gets onto the screen just about as much of the novella as one could reasonably expect, and is engrossing and moving in its own right.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Huston nails both the glad-handing and the choking sense of hollow despair.
Zap2it.com
Michael Szymanski
It's "Bowfinger" with a meaning, it's "The Player" with a heart, it's a window into business, politics and excesses. The film has heart
Reel.com
Pam Grady
Make no mistake, ivans xtc. is a mess.
San Francisco Examiner
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Captivates as it shows excess in business and pleasure, allowing us to find the small, human moments, and leaving off with a grand whimper.
SPLICEDWire
Rob Blackwelder
(Danny Huston gives) an astounding performance that deftly, gradually reveals a real human soul buried beneath a spellbinding serpent's smirk.
Internet Reviews
Steve Rhodes
A directorial tour de force by Bernard Rose, ivans xtc. is one of this year's very best pictures.
