The Bothersome Man Ratings & Reviews
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
Like the Swedish/Norwegian Kitchen Stories, it's a thoughtful Scandinavian film with a bent sense of humor.
Oregonian
Marc Mohan
Is it a religious allegory? Political statement? Horror film? Perhaps all three, perhaps none.
Film Journal International
Eric Monder
If only all the production elements added up to great movie. Instead, they seem like window dressing on a sill looking out to nowhere.
WBAI Web Radio
Prairie Miller
Bothersome Man is a stark yet strangely lyrical, multi-layered dirge for the absurdity of human fate in the face of figuratively deadening social conformity, and on the other hand, literal mortality.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
An absurdly funny dystopian allegory that can proudly hold its own next to Truffaut's Fahrenheit 451 and Terry Gilliam's Brazil.
Sly Fox
Kam Williams
A deliberate, thought-provoking, existential meditation on the curse of creating a neverending heaven on Earth.
AV Club
Noel Murray
[A] pitch-black, bone-dry comedy.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
A surreal nightmare of gleaming surfaces and razor-sharp edges, The Bothersome Man unfolds in a sterile city where nothing is quite as it seems.
Village Voice
Rob Nelson
Director Jens Lien mostly favors the clean and bland, succumbing to much of the same pod-person impassivity that the movie purports to critique.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
There are several ways to take this bothersome trifle, none of which are at all resonant.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Made with formidable assurance, a compelling look, quiet skill and impressive economy.
Movies for the Masses
Joseph Proimakis
full review in Greek
Cinematical
Martha Fischer
A dark, nasty little movie that's never quite as deep or as clever as it imagines itself to be.
Variety
Leslie Felperin
Delightfully droll.
