Graffiti Bridge Ratings & Reviews
ChristyLemire.com
Christy Lemire
Graffiti Bridge is essentially a series of music videos strung together uncomfortably with awkward dialogue and stiff acting.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
He abandons even the semi-realism of 'Purple Rain' for something closer to a good, old-fashioned, backlot musical - something we get even less of these days, so enjoy the novelty.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
Visually unappealing and inane at every turn, this one's the absolute pits.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
Prince follows his disastrous Under the Cherry Moon with another lame film.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
With his doe eyes, sensitive face and amazing openness, he might even have the makings of a whole new kind of movie star. But if Prince is ever going to be that, he must find some decent behind-the-camera collaborators.
Seattle Times
Michael Upchurch
Technically, the film is a compendium of stale MTV gimmicks -- dry ice, stylized sets. It's a neo-Expressionist tempest in a teapot.
Baltimore Sun
Lou Cedrone
There is some plot, but it is wispy at best and frequently gets in the way of the music.
Tulsa World
Dennis King
Hardcore Prince fans might revel in His Royal Purpleness' muted philisopical musings, but everyone else will likely find this film an overblown bore.
Chicago Tribune
Mark Caro
The movie suffers from various technical difficulties -- like choppy editing and songs that get cut off mid-groove -- and in the end everything collapses in a heap.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
If, as has been reported, Graffiti Bridge is Prince's homage to the heyday of Hollywood musicals, he should have hired a director who looks at film as more than an extended music video.
TV Guide
The music is quite good and will certainly appeal to Prince fans, but it is buried under so much tedious pretention that even the performer's most devoted fans will find it difficult to sit through the film.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Prince has had his follies, but never has he been associated with an album or film as lackluster as this one.
Variety
Variety Staff
A half-baked retread of tired MTV imagery and childish themes.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Deborah Wilker
Even though fans will probably enjoy the rare glimpse of reclusive Prince frolicking on the big screen, better to buy the album (as well as Pandemonium by The Time) than to waste money on this dreck.
People Magazine
David Hiltbrand
The meaning of this clumsy cinematic conundrum is anyone's guess.
New Times
Luke Y. Thompson
Great music video...but doesn't cut it as a movie.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
This world, as Prince has rendered it, has both the sunniness of an old back-lot musical and the cutting edge of contemporary cool.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Incoherent.
Washington Post
Richard Harrington
Purple Rain, which turned Prince into a megastar, was a film with genuine dramatic elements. Graffiti Bridge is self-hagiography, an overextended video with a preposterous plot, suggesting that the music came first, the script last.
