Soderbergh's talent is not in doubt; you can see, in the often elegant images shot by Walt Lloyd, a real filmmaker at work. But his choice of material is dubious.

Steven Soderbergh's Kafka is a very bad well-directed movie.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 20, 2003

Soderbergh does demonstrate again here that he's a gifted director, however unwise in his choice of project.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

A movie about Franz Kafka? It's a good idea for a microsecond. Then it dissolves into a dumb proposition.

| Jan 1, 2000

A stimulating blend of biography, hypothesis, interpretation and afterthought. It's a story about the 20th century.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

The effect is artistic, but it's also obvious when the material cried out for unsettling.
