Entanglement Reviews
For moviegoers who don't mind shutting down their rational brains in order to enjoy 85 minutes of likable escapism, Entanglement will be just the ticket. Probably.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 9, 2018
[Jason] James' assured timing and visual knack almost mask how strained and half-baked the story is.
| Feb 9, 2018
A so-so but charming enough story concerning the connections that bind, define and sometimes confound us.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 9, 2018
It's difficult for a film to be charming when it's so busy being preposterous - although in the case of "Entanglement," a distinct lack of energy and tonal control are also to blame.

It's not exactly a date movie (unless a breakup is in the works) but it's a pleasant enough story, thanks to a smart script and some appealing performances.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 8, 2018
An offbeat, slow-gelling comedy that creeps up on you in deceptively profound and affecting ways.
| Feb 8, 2018
Impressively photographed and perkily paced, Jason Filiatrault's story never droops quite as much as its lead character, injecting a welcome poignancy that tempers the cuteness.

Ben's carefully plotted healing diminishes the complexity of mental illness, and gives James's sweet vision a bitter aftertaste
| Feb 8, 2018
A more nuanced understanding of mental illness than most, and an optimism and empathy that nicely balances its bittersweetness.
| Original Score: B+ | Feb 7, 2018
Ben doesn't deserve our sympathy, in part for how noxiously the film has imagined the female characters who surround him.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 6, 2018
The script isn't great, but the plot turns and visuals can be striking, and Jess Weixler has fun as the bad-girl sister.
