The Architect Ratings & Reviews
New York Post
Kyle Smith
The dull indie drama The Architect comes from the stage, which is where it should have stayed.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
The Architect wears its heavy social consciousness like an albatross, and Tauber's plodding, earnest direction does little to wean the material away from its stage roots.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
...A grim little exercise in exorcising middle-class guilt.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Too many "big" moments are happening to too many people for the movie to feel plausible, and Tauber tries to tie many of those plots together in a way that seems contrived.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
Despite his obvious earnestness, first-time director and cowriter Matt Tauber is ill equipped to mine emotions this complex.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Given the fact that The Architect is obviously a work in the tradition of Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams, not to mention Henrik Ibsen, it's disappointing.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
Painfully portentous and more solemn than Santa's funeral, The Architect gets this year's prize for the movie most likely to spoil holiday cheer.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
... much of what's on the screen feels like a creaky, tone-deaf classroom exercise in mechanical contrivance.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
Despite graphic scenes of drug- and crime-infested buildings where people are forced to live behind bars like prisoners, The Architect still feels stagebound, inert when it needs to be cinematic.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
There are too many characters undergoing life changes in the story for each to be properly developed in an 82-minute movie.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
Too well meaning and self-congratulatory for its own good.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Every character in The Architect is crazily stuccoed with crisis.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Flaunts lame ghetto and dark-side-of-suburbia clichés in self-loathing standstill after self-loathing standstill, none of which offer a genuinely insightful perspective on modern living.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
A well-intentioned misfire...
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Stage-to-screen transition stumbles, however, when the concept of 'home' no longer provides an evocative offstage metaphor but, instead, becomes a thudding on-screen presence.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
It's a compact and symmetrical picture with all its plot points in the right places, but I never found it convincing in the slightest.
Village Voice
Ella Taylor
The Architect is an affecting study in the private loneliness and strength of Tonya, a woman who understands her own motives only imperfectly but presses ahead anyway.
