A Room and a Half Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Stephen Holden
A rich, heady fictionalized biography of the exiled Russian poet Joseph Brodsky.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
An anecdotal jumble of scenes.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Khrzhanovsky's tone is too whimsical at times, and his points about repression too leaden, but that often happens when a cartoonist dabbles in live-action. Anyway, Khrzhanovsky's approach improves the material far more than it hinders.
Filmcritic.com
Chris Cabin
without Khrzhanovskiy's artful vitality, Brodsky's life, at the very least, would have looked a dreadful bore and A Room and a Half wouldn't be half as wise or entertaining as it is.
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
The antithesis of the stiff, plodding biopic, A Room and a Half is the most persuasive film about a writer and his formative world since Before Night Falls.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
A fanciful and melancholy portrait of exiled Russian poet Joseph Brodsky.
Village Voice
Ella Taylor
Ecstatically fanciful.
