By trying to take advantage of the medium, Stoppard loses track of what makes his work so wonderful. This belongs on the stage.

Really head-twisting adaptation of the play with fine work from Oldman and Roth.

Staged as they are here, the jokes and the fourth-wall gamesmanship don't seem as funny as they did on the page.

"belongs on the stage, but for what it is, not bad"

As a movie, this material, freely adapted by Stoppard, is boring and endless. It lies flat on the screen, hardly stirring.

...On stage, the sprightly teleological riffs and bebop dialogue delight as ends in themselves. Here they're leaden and compromised. What happened?

Both Oldman and Roth turn in flat and uninspiring performances.

Probably the best stage to screen adaptation I've ever seen. Essential.

Unfortunately, Stoppard the director does not match the invigorating brilliance of Stoppard the writer.

Tom Stoppard's 1967 morality play has been translated into a high-spirited and well-acted film.

As happens at the opera, one usually laughs (if one laughs at all) not because something is funny, but because one has successfully recognized that it is supposed to be funny.

A disastrous adaptation of an excellent play.
