(04/01/2002, p.26, Glenn Kenny): "...The film provides horrific rushes generated in equal part by Bean's genuinely intellectually challenging screenplay and an outstanding performance by Ryan Gosling..."

| Pros |
Ryan Gosling, excellent writing, attention to detail. |
| Cons |
A couple of under developed characters. |
| Bottom Line |
A thought-provoking examination of self-hatred and struggling with ones faith. |

| Pros |
Ryan Gosling's performance, the story in general, pace of film |
| Cons |
characters of Curtis and Lina, some unnecessary tangents |
| Bottom Line |
A thought-provoking and somewhat disturbing film that buoyed by a terrific performance from Ryan Gosling. |
| Pros |
Great story-telling and Ryan Gosling is amazing in his transitional role. |
| Cons |
The underlying conflict in the film is not obvious, at first glance. |
| Bottom Line |
This movie deals with a serious issue of Anti-Semitism. However, the story-telling and Ryan Gosling's performance is superb. However, a total conclusion of the film is elusive. |

| Pros |
Stunning powerful deliverance by Ryan Gosling, and a deep understanding of Judaism |
| Cons |
Billy Zane and Theresa Russell characters are just strange. |
| Bottom Line |
A movie that delves into understanding Anti-Semitism. Most movies about hate groups don't really explain why people hate |
