This moving was gripping from beginning to end.

It starts off in a dark place then wallows and ends there. This movie is just too dreary for me.

The WORST movie I've ever seen! I could barely sit through it. The acting was awful and so was the story line. Do not waste 2 hours of your life watching this movie.. no matter how bored you are.

It's beautiful what an intertwined fabric we all make: sibblings, parents, families, colleagues, neighbours, nations, races. And yet all the while our own perspective of the world seems to magnify our own troubles and concerns so much as to make us almost completely unaware - maybe even blind - of what others are experiencing. But yeah, short but sweet (80 minutes). I liked it.

A nice drama in my opinion. I usually love LaPaglia but he's done better parts but it was still ok. I liked how the stories intervened. Ended sorta weird but then again it left some parts to the imagination which isn't all that bad.

What is it with Anthony La Paglia continually signing up for these lame, supposed to be hard hitting films? There is a challenge to bringing a play to life, unfortunately this is not a well translated script. The transition from scene to scene barely strings together and the emotions and outbursts seem odd and baseless. The worst character of all is that of the wife - badly explained, a great waste of talent. I have never read the play but I can feel they have totally butchered it. A waste of time.

Lacks direction and not much of a story.

gosh... It has nothing to do with Architect!

very weird movie but I ran across it because of hayden panettiere and watched it because it's about an architect. it really didn't incorporate things as much as I thought it would be. as a matter of fact, I am not sure what direction the movie wanted to go in. just seemed to be filled with angry characters.

Two stars. One for the effort. The second one for Hayden Panne... Panetie... Panettie... for the "Heroes" chick.

You know, I want to support independent film that attempts social commentary as much as the next guy, but this is really too much. Between this and shit like "The Air I Breathe", I'm actually getting increasingly angry at Crash's oscar win from a couple of years ago, on whom I squarely place blame upon for studios greenlighting this pretentious, poorly-constructed mess. This whole "let's get an ensemble cast of C-list actors and try to arrange several fragmented storylines into a single film" bullshit is getting out of hand. Besides the fact that The Architect is made up of a bunch of unresolved, pointless character arcs, the writing actually feels like it's talking down to you. Not to mention it's shot like an amateur college film. Fuck these movies, fuck the studios who are jumping on this uninspired bandwagon that we're probably going to see the effects of for years to come, and fuck these actors for reading material like this and actually committing to it. Fuck.

a no ending movie! id rather see something happen than use my own imagination to think about what happened.

what a cast of unhappy people...little reason to cheer for any of them...not a complete dud but close

Not good. I did not pick out this movie!!

fantastic and sad. it would be perfect if panettiere could cry convincingly. i still love her though.

A story about a family that seems to have it all, but is just as messed up as all families are. Nothing earth-shattering here and intentionally so. I liked it because the characters and their stories are easy to relate to.

Not much substance to this movie. And the theme is all over the place. Deals with marriage, teenage instability, sexuality of teens and interracial class divisions. Nothing gets solved at the end , basically.

a slow sombre drama, which never really goes anywhere or solves anything. plus i've seen better work out of hayden panettierre

How is it possible to cram inter-racial class divisions, latent adolescent homosexuality, urban gangs, middle-class domestic breakdown and campus foppery into one film and still come out with a boring piece of shit that makes you want to kill yourself?

completly love it!!!
