Reviews for Nightwatching
1 - 6 (sorted by date; Australian critics are listed first)
What truly galls is that Greenaway has the germ of a great movie here.
03/06/09
A rambling, theatrical, frequently didactic study of a turning point in the Dutch painter's life.
09/22/07
Like making a biopic about Michelangelo and casting Benny Hill in the lead role.
09/13/07
...the dialogue's hyper-intensity is the whole point, and Greenaway frames it with a heavy reliance on set design, rather than his usual use of overlapping images.
09/08/07
There's a zest for life in almost every frame
