A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III Ratings & Reviews
Spanktacular
January 18, 2025
Meandering and masturbatory.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
This giant turkey was produced, written, and directed by Roman Coppola, who must have thought the dumb fantasy sequences, steeped in movieland imagery, would remind people of 8-1/2 (or, at the very least, Head).
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The audience finds out just how long 84 minutes can be. The answer: really long.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A film is a terrible thing to waste.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
The execution ... is perilously self-absorbed ...
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
Proves two things - that Charlie Sheen is a better actor than his public persona and stint on Two and a Half Men may have led you to believe and that he needs to find a character to prove that instead of this riff on his real-life drama.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
A movie that doesn't really seem to have any reason to exist, other than maybe to give writer and director Roman Coppola and star Charlie Sheen something to do for a few weeks.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
As Charles Swan seems to become more aware of his loneliness, Charlie Sheen seems to become more protective of his Charlie Sheen-ness.
The Atlantic
Robert Levin
The film reveals a depth and weight to the Charlie Sheen archetype that we haven't experienced before.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
This isn't a despicable film or a lazy one; it's just a doodle, a glorified home movie by a filmmaker who no doubt has one hell of a Rolodex and a few favors to call in.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Sort of like Bob Fosse's "All That Jazz'' minus the music, the wit and the insight, not to mention Roy Scheider's brilliant performance.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
A noodling indulgence that's alternately freewheeling and dead in the water.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
At best it is a mildly diverting goof with a charmless lead performance. Its underlying misogyny leaves a sour taste.
NPR
Joel Arnold
Charles Swan might have have been successful if its sensibilities weren't so aligned with its constantly disappointing protagonist's.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
From its puffed-up title to the way the cast playfully bows to us at the end, "Swan" is so eager to be a trippy comic lark that it ends up resembling a clown trying to fit through a pea-shooter.
TIME Magazine
Mary F. Pols
Sitting through The Mind of Charles Swan III does not lead to a deeper understanding of Charlie Sheen. It does, however, demonstrate his compulsion for poor judgment and bad choices.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
The film strangely takes it for granted that everyone adores Charlie Sheen, and is willing to extend affection to the unmistakably Charlie Sheen-like character he plays here.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
Seriously, this is one of the strangest and most painful films in recent memory.
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
With neither the moral bite of satire nor a voluptuary surrender that really basks in shallowness, this is a vague, unsatisfying work.
Variety
Boyd van Hoeij
Swan is more of a doodle than a fully formed idea, though not necessarily less enjoyable for it, since it was clearly intended to be an undisciplined, anything-goes kinda story.
