Dark City Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
Dark City is ultimately positive, recapitulating noir's post-WWII social anomie as a quest for self-actualization over complacency.
Chicago Reader
Bill Boisvert
Real humanists may have misgivings.
USA Today
Mike Clark
Dark City is fascinating, visionary filmmaking that captures the sensation of dreaming and being unable to wake up.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
City ultimately plays like one of those art-deco dystopian CD-ROM adventures of recent years.
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
A mishmash of iconography lifted from better movies.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Dark City trades in such weighty themes as memory, thought control, human will and the altering of reality, but is engaging mostly in the degree to which it creates and sustains a visually startling alternate universe.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
[A] stylish hybrid of futuristic thriller and film noir.
Newsweek
Andrea C. Basora
Proyas floods the screen with cinematic and literary references ranging from Murnau and Lang to Kafka and Orwell, creating a unique yet utterly convincing world.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
If you don't fall in love with it, you've probably never fallen in love with a movie, and never will.
CNN.com
Paul Tatara
This is one of those movies that's more concerned with set design motivation than anything that's going on inside the characters' heads.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
An unsettling depiction of reality as elusive and ephemeral.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
It is all well and good that nobody has anything to laugh about in this movie, but the relentless gloom and frothing paranoia soon begin to drag on an earthly audience.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
[A] stunningly visual smorgasbord of tenebrous eye-candy, all creeping shadows and urban malaise.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Stack
It is among the most memorable cinematic ventures in recent years.
Film.com
Peter Brunette
Dark City ... contains more philosophical and cinematic ideas in ten minutes than the last ten films I've seen put together.
Film.com
Sean P. Means
Dark City has all the Gothic imagery and plot incoherence of a Tim Burton movie, without Burton's mad-scientist merriment.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Dark City by Alex Proyas is a great visionary achievement, a film so original and exciting, it stirred my imagination like Metropolis and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
...a reminder of how sensuous a visual trip movie watching can be.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
...so relentlessly trippy in a fun-house sort of way that it could very easily inspire a daredevil cult of moviegoers who go back again and again to experience its mind-bending twists and turns.
