The Dying Gaul Ratings & Reviews
Filmcritic.com
Nick Schager
finds it difficult to infuse humanity into a character who essentially functions as a dramatic device
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
The film plays for keeps: It hurts and it doesn't back away from messy questions about art, commerce and conscience.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
By the end of the film, relationships have turned so corrosive that the characters leave an ugly aftertaste in the mind of the viewer.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
The Dying Gaul begins with a Herman Melville quote: 'Woe to him who seeks to please rather than appall.' Let them serve not as words of wisdom, but of warning.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
[E]xcept for some problems in the middle act, the movie is easy to swallow.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Steve Murray
Like minimalist composer Steve Reich's prickly, tense music on the soundtrack, the movie itself is too often too intellectual, experimental and abstract.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Lucas' insight into the subtleties of interaction -- and the churning depths that those subtleties suggest -- is of a whole other order than that of most film directors.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The movie doesn't completely please, but more disappointing is that it no longer aims to appall, either.
Slate
David Edelstein
I'm not going to spell out the collateral damage, but I found the ending cheap, contrived, and genuinely disgusting.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
The Dying Gaul is often wicked fun.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
It proves Lucas, the noted playwright, to be a born filmmaker.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
We have good performances but a very faulty script.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Begins promisingly only to lapse into an increasingly improbable and overly familiar tale about how rotten Hollywood industryites can be.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
Lucas' evolved sense of character refuses to apply definitive shades of good and evil to anyone in this distressing triangle.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Audacious and extremely well-acted -- if flawed.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
With humor and rage fighting for dominance, debuting director Craig Lucas drives a stake into the dark heart of Hollywood.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
This smart, good-looking movie deserves an audience.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
The heady cast of Campbell Scott, Patricia Clarkson and Peter Sarsgaard labors mightily -- and unsuccessfully -- to create empathetic characters out of a trio of self-absorbed neurotics in contemporary Hollywood.
MovieWeb
Nick Schager
seems relevant only insofar as its cast effectively pinpoints the vengeful malice born from spurned love and squandered trust.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Craig Lucas's sublimely acted film stars Campbell Scott as a closeted bisexual predator who has an affair with an emotionally unstrung writer (Peter Sarsgaard).
