Fugitive Pieces Reviews
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Fugitive Pieces delivers its own evocative poetry.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
If Fugitive Pieces has a message, it is that life can heal us, if we allow it.
Chicago Tribune
Sid Smith
Fugitive Pieces is often quiet, lyrical, reflective and underplayed. It doesn't minimize Holocaust suffering--far from it--but it strives, often successfully, to unearth the innate good in people Anne Frank alluded to so eloquently.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Fugitive Pieces is an often lovely work, haunting its viewer long afterward with its quiet observations on what remains with us.
indieWire
Brandon Judell
Distractingly jumping back and forth in time, the film falters badly in the modern era, yet its tale is still a moving one.
indieWire
Leo Goldsmith
Nostalgic, deeply felt, and refreshingly astute, "Fugitive Pieces" is something of a rare bird these days%u2014a big-budget, transnational historical drama that actually justifies its scope and subject matter with more than visual opulence.
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
The great Serbian actor Rade Serbedzija gives Fugitive Pieces its heart.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Tasteful, unremarkable art-house fare, rescued from complete irrelevance by Stephen Dillane's bottled-up performance as a writer scarred by the Holocaust.
Miami Herald
Connie Ogle
Sensitively adapted from the achingly sad, luminous novel by Anne Michaels, Fugitive Pieces is a story of unspeakable loss and how it eats at the souls of survivors.
Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
This lyrical drama about memory and survivor's guilt taps a deep reservoir of emotions.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Fugitive Pieces, however well-meaning, is still pretty much an emotionally distanced slog.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
It's a character study in which the lead participant is the least interesting person in the movie. There's something inherently frustrating and unsatisfying about that.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Though much of the film's power is tamped down by the passive storytelling style, Dillane's performance as the adult Jakob is compelling, and Ayelet Zurer is beguiling as Jakob's late-in-life soul mate.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
Everyone in the movie...is fabulous, and Podeswa has an ability to distill history into a few powerful images.
Arizona Republic
Richard Nilsen
Bit by fragmented bit, it all adds up to a one-note portrait of its protagonist. Granted, that one note is a powerful one.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Feels less like a redemptive survivor's story and more like a commercial for some terrific Mediterranean resort.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The cast is uniformly attractive and earnest. But the romanticized image of the tortured artist is the stuff of stereotype unless it's leavened with humor, or limned in art. In Fugitive Pieces, neither element appears in sufficient quantity.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Sliding from past to present without an overt purpose, Jakob's story has the grand and aimless sweep of a mini-series
Variety
Robert Koehler
A generally dull and unmemorable adaptation of Anne Michaels' extraordinary prose-poetry novel.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
[A] lovely, absorbing adaptation of Anne Michaels' lauded novel.
