(Untitled) Reviews

Writer-director Jonathan Parker sets us up for a 90-minute debate on aesthetics and artistic integrity, and that's a tedious exercise in any medium.

| Original Score: 5.5/10 | Jul 4, 2010

Skewers the world of contemporary art in a way that's insightful and funny without becoming a broad parody.

| Original Score: B | Nov 21, 2009

The impenetrable gallery jargon is quite funny at first, and the brothers' twisted relationship is set up nicely, but the movie errs when it takes itself seriously.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 12, 2009

(Untitled) asks a lot of intriguing questions -- more intriguing than the film itself.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 12, 2009

A serious comedy in which the assorted players - a couple of artists, some gallerists, and the people who attend (or don't attend) their shows - discuss what art is, what it should aspire to be, and what kind of people collect, exhibit, and consider it.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 12, 2009

The performances here are all stellar, and narrative movies that take the making of art seriously are a rare breed indeed.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 6, 2009

Has the punctuation and the thinness of a gallery wall label.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 5, 2009

It doesn't have a hero who's right and everyone else is wrong. And though it mocks every character, it dismisses nobody. It makes a case for every point of view, including those the filmmakers don't share.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Nov 5, 2009

(Untitled) is a comedy worthy of the best Woody Allen, and Adrian is not unlike Woody's persona: a sincere, intense, insecure nebbish, hopeless with women, aiming for greatness.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 5, 2009

Because Parker is so determined to expose the art scene's pretensions, he neglects other areas, like dialogue, plot and character. And what's the point in making a shallow satire about shallow subjects?

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 23, 2009

There's plenty to recommend.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 23, 2009

Shrewdly hedges its bets about the value of it all, it is ultimately on the side of experimental music and art and their champions, no matter how eccentric. For that alone this brave little movie deserves an audience.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 23, 2009

(Untitled) is a tinny satire destined to go (Unwatched) because it is (Uninteresting).

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 23, 2009

Shelton's radiant performance as the brothers' elusive object of desire helps rescue (Untitled) from an occasional listlessness that comes as a consequence of Parker's nuanced, gentle jabs at the art world.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 22, 2009

Sort of a parody of the cliquish New York art scene, but also a defense of it.

| Oct 22, 2009

Adam Goldberg glowers effectively as a serious composer of maddeningly difficult music; the wonderful Marley Shelton glows with hilariously cool composure as a gallery owner who exhibits unendurable art pieces.

| Original Score: A- | Oct 21, 2009

(Untitled)'s onslaught of self-indulgent bohos and art-vs.-commerce clichs are as ersatz as their objects of scorn.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 21, 2009

(Untitled) tries to reignite who-gets-to-call-it-art debates that haven't been taken seriously for at least a decade.

| Oct 20, 2009

Parker reduces the art world to the insipid backbiting and conniving of malign thugs that enthusiastically bat around grandiose, self-serving endorsements

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 20, 2009
