Not entirely successful, but unlike anything you've seen before.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 17, 2019

Its convoluted, highly allegorical story line will put off many. However, it is certainly a fresh and original take on digital cinema, and, for no other reason, it may be appreciated as a film stretching the very form of filmmaking.

A crystal-clear example of what happens when actors and filmmakers congregate with too much time on their hands.

Are you trying to tell me that Salma Hayek actually understood this script and I did not?

it's through its anarchic, try-anything chutzpah that this bizarrely erotic satire succeeds and entertains

Wears out its welcome pretty fast.

Pretentious avant-garde comedy.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 26, 2003

Here's a strange case. Hotel is a movie that works in no conventional sense, and succeeds in several unconventional ones.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 26, 2003

Pretensions permeate Hotel, which, as a movie about movies, is the cinematic equivalent of a humor column in The Hollywood Reporter.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 25, 2003

It's a love-it-or- hate-it proposition.

If you came across Hotel playing on monitors in a museum of contemporary art it would grab your attention for a while, but as a movie, it's too pretentious, too confusing and just too much.

Full Review | Jul 28, 2003

A train wreck of a film whose chaotic, partly improvised story and too-tricky mix of film stocks, image sizes, split-screen effects and color/B&W footage overwhelm some phenomenally beautiful sequences and a memorable performance by Saffron Burroughs.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 25, 2003

There are clever, funny, erotic and visually beautiful moments scattered throughout the film.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 25, 2003

A jumbled, self-indulgent mess with a rash of story lines and a squandered cast.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 25, 2003

Figgis cooks up fewer memorable cinematic tricks here than in Time Code, his previous picture, but he still deserves credit for taking more artistic chances than a dozen ordinary directors.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 25, 2003

Mainly there's a lot of rambling, posing and the smell of everyone involved giving in to the worst sort of art-damaged self-indulgence.
