Wenders is one of those previously coherent cult directors who's reached the point at which he thinks he's accomplishing something by horsing around with his friends.

It is probably asking too much of this phantasmagoria that it make sense.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 23, 2001

If you're looking for a defining Wenders image, try starting with the gloomy angels in overcoats in Wings Of Desire.

Full Review | Feb 9, 2001

If any of these characters were half as resonant as Wenders appears to think they are, the film might have seemed charming instead of merely stranded.

| Original Score: D | Feb 9, 2001

A film that feels, sounds and looks like a back number.

| Feb 7, 2001

Audiences partial to this rather rarefied material will find plenty to enjoy in the technically polished production, but those not on Wenders' wavelength will be seriously alienated.

| Feb 7, 2001

The script that Nicholas Klein has conjured from Bono's idea is a quicksand that sucks down a solid cast.

Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/5 | Feb 6, 2001

There's a vacancy in The Million Dollar Hotel, and it's between Wim Wenders' ears.

| Feb 2, 2001

Pretentious, indulgent, tiresome exercise in star-strutting and seediness.

| Feb 2, 2001

There may not be anyone else who is as capable of romanticizing bummed-out good taste as Mr. Wenders.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 2, 2001

Pretentious and trite in a way that you can get away with in a rock song or a music video, but that becomes almost unbearably irritating in a full-length feature.

If you're a Wenders admirer and can give yourself over to his gorgeous verging-on-surreal vision, you can come away deeply moved.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 2, 2001

A plodding, self-indulgent exercise in pomposity over substance.

| Feb 1, 2001

Even alternative cinema god, Wenders, and rock's last great savior, Bono, are doing little more than recycling the material and cardboard people that Hollywood machinery has assigned as the harmless, loveable freaks.

Full Review | Feb 1, 2001

Something of a monstrosity -- liquored self-indulgence taken to its own astral plane.

A fascinating failure.
