Intermission movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: One of those films that should keep you entirely entertained but that disappears from memory almost immediately. Read more
Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune: If Intermission isn't profound, it's got boisterous humor and energy. Read more
John Hartl, Seattle Times: The cast is strong enough to overcome the more frantic moments and lend some weight to the characters. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: This is a likeable movie about nasty people. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: A spiky comic treat. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: A tedious and under-inspired comedy about a dozen all-too-ordinary Dubliners leading lives of not-so-quiet desperation that intersect with one another improbably. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: The first Irish creation I've seen in ages to pull off the high-difficulty feat of trafficking in grit, drollery, and emotion without turning to blarney as a crutch. Read more
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail: Such are the dangers of teaching foreign cultures to yelp like Reservoir Dogs. Read more
Tom Maurstad, Dallas Morning News: A welcome reminder that the best, most fun entertainment encourages thinking, not the cessation of it. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: A fairly saccharine collage of self-redemptive gestures and happy endings that, true to its title, only fitfully compels. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: Working off a very funny and intricately formulated screenplay by Mark O'Rowe, what Crowley gives us is an entertaining example of Irish-Alt cinema ('alt' standing for both 'alternative' and 'Altman'). Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: Visceral thrills and mordant humor are on this film's agenda, and it serves up both in style. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: It's as if Crowley, a theater director, took Pulp Fiction as his guide without understanding its appeal. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: A failed experiment with more than a few gleaming insights. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: A gritty tapestry embroidered with the light and dark chiaroscuro of wit and sorrow, Intermission is a jagged hymn to transience and the self-discovery it offers. Read more
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: Surprise hovers over this dry-roasted and altogether compelling Irish comedy-drama like a creature waiting to stun the cast of the movie into submission. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Intermission is the first movie in ages to show us what Irish native Hollywood star Farrell is capable of. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: A virtuoso act from beginning to end, juggling violence and farce, coincidence and luck, characters with good hearts and others evil to the core. Read more
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: Often unsettling -- random acts of violence outnumber those of kindness. But it's also touching, startlingly original and even profound. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Not real Irish, but the movie kind: the latest to stumble off the [John] Ford assembly-line. Read more
Jessica Winter, Village Voice: Like a loud and intermittently charismatic drunk at a dreary dive bar, Intermission grabs your attention, but in no time you're looking for the nearest exit. Read more
