Drowning by Numbers Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Its worth is drowned out by its obscurity and urge to make everything into an intellectual game.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Here is a movie so personal and quirky that perhaps you will enjoy it more than I did, and I do not want to spoil your fun, since the movie is playful above everything else.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Stylish, adult entertainment from Greenaway
rec.arts.movies.reviews
David N. Butterworth
Quintessential Greenaway.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Rumsey Taylor
Though not the most visceral of Greenaway's films, it is a textbook art film, meticulously organized, and requisite viewing for obsessive-compulsives.
El Nuevo Herald (Miami)
Rene Jordan
The most unbearable film by Peter Greenaway. [Full review in Spanish]
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
Peter Greenaway's Drowning by Numbers is perhaps the most direct illustration of the filmmaker's key thematic and aesthetic interest in ascribing structure to a chaotic universe.
