Reviews


80
Village Voice - J. Hoberman
Downey, who, having grasped that he's playing a cartoon character, delivers the most animated performance. (Midway through 2006, this supporting turn is the performance to beat in what seems the year's American movie to beat.)
80
L.A. Weekly - Unnamed
As they (Robert Downey Jr. and Woody Harrelson) bicker and banter, threaten one another with small household objects, and try (unsuccessfully) to determine the number of gears on a bicycle, they display a combination of irritability and incompetence that is the soul of comedy.
80
Salon - Andrew O'Hehir
There's no other filmmaker, living or dead, who could produce a futuristic sci-fi nightmare, a hipster comedy, a haunting film noir and a cartoon, all in the same movie.
75
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
This gifted writer-director isn't out to dull the masses with cinematic opium. Embedded in the visionary headtrip of A Scanner Darkly is a hotly political call to arms.
70
Variety - Justin Chang
Deeply intriguing but almost too-faithful adaptation of Philip K. Dick's nightmarish 1977 novel.
