Total Eclipse Ratings & Reviews
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
"The unbearable thing," muses Rimbaud, "is that nothing is unbearable." Obviously he hadn't seen this movie.
Chicago Reader
Anthony Puccinelli
Ironically the film's failure as a work of art about artists may be what helps it succeed as a trashy guilty pleasure...
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
A misguided project from Holland: Watching Verlaine and Rimbeau engage in endless arguments about the nature of love, you wonder when they had time to create the poetry that revolutionized the world.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Fascinating biopic marred by Di Caprio's performance.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Despite its fascinating subject matter, Total Eclipse is both unflattering and loveless.
Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
a noble effort to capture Rimbaud's genius, but it fails to take enough risks to get close to the enigmatic poet.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A disappointing biography about the homosexual relationship of two famous 19th century French poets.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It lacks any sense of humor, and is under the delusion that its subjects are interesting because they are great poets. That only makes their poetry interesting.
