Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle: This ambitious and sometimes entertaining Brazilian feature tries to pull off a tricky maneuver but doesn't quite get it done. Read more

Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Even after it loses its way, the movie suggests a world where anything can happen and no one -- certainly not the girl of one's dreams -- is quite who he or she seems to be. Read more

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: Engagingly flawed. Read more

Mario Tarradell, Dallas Morning News: The Man Who Copied unfolds into a movie with a split personality, and the second half is no reproduction of the first. Read more

Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly: An enjoyable ride. Read more

Jan Stuart, Newsday: Insistently quirky romp from Brazil. Read more

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: The Man Who Copied is an awfully stylish film. But like its hero, it foolishly tries to trick us -- and, in the end, doesn't even tell the truth to itself. Read more

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: A big hit back home, this good-humored gem from Brazilian director Jorge Furtado manages to tackle some serious issues without sacrificing its inherently sweet nature. Read more

Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: This Brazilian film starts as a quirky romantic comedy before suddenly becoming a violent crime drama. It's a radical turn, so much so that it almost goes over a cliff. Read more
