02/11/06
A Hole in One aspires to the Sirkian social satire of Todd Haynes' Far From Heaven, but the result is closer to a Coen brothers film with all the funny parts removed.
05/13/05
Top CriticInteresting but, in the long run, aimless.
05/13/05
Its overindulgence in pseudo–David Lynch stylistics provides yet another distraction from a potentially intriguing story.
05/12/05
Things play out differently than expected, though not in any particularly interesting or entertaining way.
05/10/05
Dreadfully misconceived.
05/06/05
With its heavy symbolism and awkward, lurching pace, A Hole in One leaves viewers with little more than the vague conviction that falling in love is better than an ice pick to the brain.
05/06/05
Top CriticDirector-writer Richard Ledes shows better command of 1950s period atmosphere than he does of either his subject or his cast.
05/06/05
In writer-director Richard Ledes dreamy, '50s-era film, the lobotomy is touted as a way of controlling the uncontrollable and pacifying the anxious.
05/05/05
Quirky to the point of irritation.
05/04/05
First-time writer-director Richard Ledes's mystical tone and pervasive swipes from David Lynch tend to suffocate his satire, and stunt casting doesn't help.
05/03/05
The film's tapestry of snarky sights and sounds doesn't exactly shed a complex light on the social and emotional problems and behaviors of people who lived in '50s.
05/01/05
...from the opening titles, with their jangling ice-pick imagery, the film builds an appropriate sense of needling uneasiness...
