May 22, 2011Starts off predictably, then gets interesting towards the end but only slightly interesting. Worth the worth for Gael Garcia Bernal..but that's about it.

January 3, 2011In general, to avoid "spoiler reviews," I try to spend most of my time talking specifically about act one and talk in generalities about acts two and three. Act one of Dot the I sucks. We get relatively uninteresting characters, and it is obvious that the film is trying ... read more

November 29, 2010This is a big champagne budget movie done on a beer budget. Seeing how the story is told with what appears to be several beginners at the helm made it even more fun and bordered on artistic for me! It was an enjoyable movie to pass some time watching.

October 2, 2009I liked this movie a lot. I think that I might not have liked it as much if I had had an idea about what to expect. I feel that this has the potential to be one of those movies that could be "mismarketed" and then I would end up hating it (like The Village or Blow Dry). But I rea... read more

July 1, 2007Highly Recommendation! Part of the beauty of this erotically romantic-drama (bit thriller) is we're never certain where to place our loyalties. We want to feel for sexy Spanish flamenco dancer, now bride-to-be, who looks for security and hopes to heal a lifetime of hurt by marryi... read more

January 2, 2008An intriguing movie.
The story plot is hypnotic and endearing, but yet bizarre. Fascinating tale of human interaction.
Love it.

John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
Parkhill tries to keep new blood pulsing through the film, but the movie stalls by its third act, where he plays a trick that seems more desperate than fresh.

Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
Take a long, hard look at Parkhill's film, and you'll find too many i's undotted. Full Review

Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
While stylishly done, Parkhill's script isn't nearly as clever as he thinks it is, and the sucker punch near the end lacks, well, punch. Full Review

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Inflicts great pain on the audience by wringing its plot into a bruised and pulpy mass. Full Review

Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
Dot the I doesn't suffer from a lack of skill. Rather it becomes a lesson in the pitfalls of moviemaking that runs on cleverness and too little else.

Michael Booth, Denver Post
It plays like the last paragraph of one of those Encyclopedia Brown stories, where the solution is an unknown twin brother or the wrong-sized footprint. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The movie not only scatters undotted Is and uncrossed Ts in its wake, but unsquared circles, unfactored primes, unrisen souffles and unconsummated consummations. Full Review

Stephen Holden, New York Times
If Dot the i, the directorial debut of Matthew Parkhill (who also wrote the screenplay), has a crass visual flash, it fails to give its characters any credible substance. Full Review
