[Has] many potent moments.

Boring, incoherent and insultingly didactic. It's like Wenders has never been to America, never observed Americans and never even seen an American movie.

This goes on for two hours and two minutes. When I staggered out of the theater, I asked if Clinton was still president.

Wenders' observations and subtextual commentary about violence in American society are well-served by the nuances of Nicholas Klein's script.
January 01, 2000
Offers viewers opportunities to ponder a variety of diverse subjects, but its overall entertainment value is less than one might hope for.

Skip the movie but buy the CD.

A muddled, sentimental Euro-American hash, redeemed here and there from its fatal purposelessness by a few moments that remind us we're in the presence of a genuine cinematic visionary.

A meandering mess, a plodding dud.
January 05, 2009
A disjointed mess where a lot goes on but nothing happens.

A trama principal se perde em um emaranhado de cenas que, rigorosamente, nada acrescentam ao filme.

A longwinded exercise in pretentious confusion.
