Harry and Max Reviews
Though Williams and Johnson fit comfortably into the European naturalism that's become Mnch's stock in trade, they can't quite wriggle out of his high-concept premise and become plausibly real.
Full Review | Sep 26, 2005
Seems like the work of a novice, with self-conscious expository passages and emotionally false conversations.
| Original Score: 0/4 | Apr 29, 2005
To consider Harry and Max as being about incestuous feelings would be shortchanging it, because the film is really about the evolving nature of love and the need to define it.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 24, 2005
Provocative without being especially thoughtful or credible.

Harry and Max is writer-director Christopher Munch's seemingly candid exorcism of any number of self-consciously naughty fantasies.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 19, 2005
Too superficial to shock or surprise.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 18, 2005
Director Christopher Munch deftly raises disturbing questions, but he fumbles badly when groping for answers.

There are brave, boundary-breaching movies, and there are mad, foolhardy ones. Harry and Max belongs to the latter breed.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 17, 2005
The emotional lives of the leads are as vacuous as a Joey Fatone B side.
Full Review | Feb 15, 2005
Perhaps the strangest element here isn't the narrative conceit itself, but the fact that director Munch handles it in such typically low-key, benevolently observant fashion.

Strains to be sensitive rather than merely shocking, but winds up dull and uninvolving.
