Critic Reviews of "Flashbacks of a Fool"
VarietyOctober 18, 2008Whiile pic doesn't exactly feel like a vanity project, its weak script might have kept it forever in development hell if debutant writer-helmer Baillie Walsh weren't the topliner's good buddy.
New York PostOctober 17, 2008The bizarre secret isn't nearly interesting enough to justify the long buildup to it, and since it amounts to bad luck it doesn't really reveal anything about the actor, anyway.
New York TimesOctober 17, 2008Without Daniel Craig's 007-enhanced profile, it's unlikely that Flashbacks of a Fool would have appeared anywhere except the Netflix queues of his most rabid fans.
L.A. WeeklyOctober 16, 2008Craig's shaken-but-not-stirred charisma makes the most of an underwritten part, but the movie nearly flat-lines when the actor's not onscreen, which is often.
Time OutOctober 15, 2008While the dialogue is often hackneyed and full of rushed backstory (not enough flashbacks, evidently), the cinematography excels, particularly the chiaroscuro interiors.
Urban CinefileMarch 21, 2009Charismatic Daniel Craig plays Joe Scott, a washed up movie star, addicted to a misspent life of sex, drugs and uncool behaviour
Los Angeles CityBeatNovember 12, 2008... an uninspired rearrangement of familiar elements, with little emotional force to justify the entire project.
NewsBlazeNovember 09, 2008Craig does a hopelessly dissipated futuristic Bondish has-been celeb party animal, undone by an overload of hard drugs and sex orgies in a flash forward culture clash of Hollywood excess and soapy UK downhome family values.
Screen InternationalOctober 18, 2008Flashbacks flounders in the final third.
ViewLondonOctober 18, 2008Impressively directed and superbly acted by a terrific cast, this is both a nostalgia-fuelled coming-of-age tale and a genuinely moving drama about making peace with the past.
Daily Telegraph (UK)April 18, 2008Fatally, Craig's self-obsessed Joe never develops into anyone more interesting.
