Henry Fool Ratings & Reviews
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Embracing Hartley's motifs, such as the vicissitudes of fame and fate, the film is sharply uneven, meditative and touching in moments but also pretentious and overlong; it's the last decent movie Hartley has made.
New Times
Luke Y. Thompson
Has some good acting and ideas, but Hartley doesn't seem to know how to end the thing.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
The complexities and weirdness of popular culture provide the backdrop for this black comedy about creativity, politics, publishing, and mentors.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
You watch, you are absorbed, and from scene to scene, Henry Fool seems to be adding up, but then your hand closes on air. I am left unsure of my response -- of any response.
