Blind Date Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The film never lifts itself above its origin as a well-meaning, underdeveloped exercise.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
A remake of a film by murdered Dutch director Theo van Gogh, it fails to captivate despite -- or perhaps because of -- the frantic acting efforts of Tucci and the normally reliable Patricia Clarkson.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
It's about watching two always-fine actors do a lot with very little.
Boxoffice Magazine
John P. McCarthy
Merely a depressing curiosity.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
Far more than an actors' exercise, this theatrical piece conveys the heartbreak of a married couple who have lost their 5-year-old daughter in an auto accident.
Daily Radar
Cole Smithey
As a theatrical filmic exercise, "Blind Date" is a fair experiment. Just don't go expecting to see a movie.
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
Too psychological and "film school" for some but a fine homage to Theo Van Gogh's integrity and courage as a filmmaker and student of the human condition.
Metromix.com
Geoff Berkshire
[Patricia] Clarkson has the ability to make any character interesting, but if there's ever been a test of how enjoyable it is to watch a film just because she's in it, this is it.
Slant Magazine
Simon Abrams
Stanley Tucci has such a disdain for subtlety that he doesn't even allow the viewer to suss out for themselves what made-up identities Don and Janna have assumed in each encounter.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Boasts natural, well-nuanced performances by Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson, but it's often an awkward blend of romance, drama, comedy and tragedy that eventually becomes tedious and dull while leaving you underwhelmed and unmoved.
Cinematical
Scott Weinberg
The characters are barely introduced before we're plunked right into their angst-fest.
Village Voice
Aaron Hillis
It's overly faithful to the original and to Van Gogh's preferred three-camera setup.
Observer
Rex Reed
Since neither character is ever explained or examined with any real insight, the viewer ceases to care early on. The overriding effect is paralyzing tedium.
At the Movies
Michael Phillips
Behind all the role playing is a movie that feels uncertain in its tone and style, more exercise than drama.
At the Movies
A.O. Scott
It does feel very stage bound, very formal.
Variety
John Anderson
Popularity of the two stars could make the film an arthouse hit; they're a joy to watch.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A depressing tale of a couple whose relationship is running on empty.
Hollywood & Fine
Marshall Fine
A well-written and insightful drama built around two beautifully modulated performances by Tucci (who directed) and the always-marvelous Patricia Clarkson.
ComingSoon.net
Edward Douglas
Aside from a few amusing scenes, it mostly comes across as a dry exercise, and the ending is so grim that much of the earlier charm might be forgotten.
