Arthur Newman Reviews
Richard Roeper.com
Richard Roeper
An offbeat, sometimes self-congratulatory road movie romance.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
The film equivalent of a dysfunctional computer sloppily assembled from discarded parts of other machines.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
One of those many indies that exist to give actors a chance to go slumming.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
How can two performers as charming as Colin Firth and Emily Blunt make a movie with so little charm?
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
They embark on one of those maundering, life-lessony odysseys that filmmakers love but audiences rarely do.
Washington Post
Jen Chaney
Well-acted but ultimately unmemorable ...
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
The promise it begins with doesn't pay off. And while "Arthur Newman" is not a complete disaster, it does leave you wishing the romance and the ride had been a whole lot smoother.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
It's almost its own genre in indie films: Boring middle-aged man tired of his existence meets up with free-spirited but troubled younger woman. Romance and newfound meaning ensue.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Director Dante Ariola and writer Becky Johnston have such a strong idea at the core of Arthur Newman that it's all the more frustrating when they follow it down the most familiar path.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
"He was kind of boring," Kevin says to Mina about his dad. "I mean, the lectures." And boring he remains.
Observer
Rex Reed
The resolution for both characters, in a finale that turns disappointingly conventional, is so sad that it left me depressed beyond hope.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The script of "Arthur Newman," written two decades ago by Becky Johnston, cries out for deadpan anonymity, not the charismatic likes of these two.
Slant Magazine
Tomas Hachard
Throughout Dante Ariola's film, the expressions of the false-identity theme are multitudinous, and about as subtle as Wallace's choice for a new last name.
The Playlist
Simon Abrams
Arthur Newman an intentionally listless story about a boring everyman.
Austin Chronicle
Louis Black
Arthur Newman is overwhelmed with arty ambitions and a heavy-handed acting style. Ultimately, all the weight prevents the film from taking off and soaring.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
Arthur Newman fails to finesse an essential problem: how to make a boring man interesting.
Chicago Reader
Drew Hunt
For the most part, the film is very basic, a simple drama about the dangers of avoiding responsibility, but there are occasional flairs of eccentricity.
Village Voice
Marsha McCreadie
Fun for a bit, things soon turns silly ...
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
Obviously the theme of "Arthur Newman" is the American dream of starting over, but Johnston's screenplay hits it so obviously that it loses its resonance.
Tolucan Times
Tony Medley
A strange film about dysfunctional people directed with good pace by Dante Ariola in his feature film debut highlighted by fine performances by Colin Firth and Emily Blunt.
