Lotus Eaters Ratings & Reviews
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
A combination of image, character, and sound suddenly blends nicely together in the second half to become an intoxicating metaphor.
TV Guide
Perry Seibert
Sadly, there's a fatalism to the entire narrative that veers into outright melodramatic scolding in the movie's final images.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
Even though the handsome black-and-white lensing is no substitute for a compelling story, it helps, infusing the skin-deep sketches of emotional enervation with aesthetic energy - for a while.
Variety
Leslie Felperin
Lotus Eaters wants desperately to be a portrait of the beautiful and the damned, with its tale of West London rich kids doing drugs and shagging each other, but it's more like a spectacle of the spoiled and annoying.
New York Times
Andy Webster
Overflows with underdeveloped characters and plotlines.
Village Voice
Chuck Wilson
Maddeningly shallow-maybe that's the point-but McGuinness does have talent.
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
The free spirit-ness of its characters is certainly mirrored in the film's aesthetic playfulness, but the initial glimmer of Fassbinder-esque expression quickly veers toward Xavier Dolan-grade affectation.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
A lazily directed, flabby look at a group of young, too-rich Londoners whose lives are so miserable you'll be tempted to give up your money and move to an ashram or monastery.
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
Fascinating black and white photography cannot make up for the lack of energy in this dreamscape of human misery.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
Less a succinct narrative than a meandering portrait of several ultra-rich, ultra-empty thirtysomethings who waste away their days with sex, drugs and ennui.
