Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 15, 2009

No Such Thing is not a horror movie; it's an intelligent monster movie.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 10, 2006

Instead of arresting a downward-spiralling career, Hartley's latest folly (one of the worst movies in Cannes 2001) shows what happens to an iconoclastic director when he neglects his intsinctive talent for small, quirly indies and goes uproariously big.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 10, 2006

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 6, 2005

For a guy who has waited three years with breathless anticipation for a new Hal Hartley movie to pore over, No Such Thing is a big letdown.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 5, 2003

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 8, 2002

Like the world of his film, Hartley created a monster but didn't know how to handle it.

It's not a particularly good film, but neither is it a monstrous one.

| Original Score: C | Sep 11, 2002

Why did such fine actors sign on to this lollapalooza?

Laced with liberal doses of dark humor, gorgeous exterior photography, and a stable-full of solid performances, No Such Thing is a fascinating little tale.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 30, 2002

No Such Thing breaks no new ground and treads old turf like a hippopotamus ballerina.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 10, 2002

A stirring, funny and finally transporting re-imagining of Beauty and the Beast and 1930s horror films

| Original Score: A | Jul 7, 2002

Can a philosophical monster movie work when it's not meant to be scary? Apparently indie bad boy Hal Hartley thinks so.

I watched the brainless insanity of No Such Thing with mounting disbelief.

| Apr 10, 2002

No Such Thing may be far from perfect, but those small, odd Hartley touches help you warm to it.

So unique and stubborn and charismatic that you want it to be better and more successful than it is.
