The film is fascinating and complex, and benefits from a densely textured soundtrack that makes it as interesting to listen to as to watch.

The epidosic (by necessity) movie is uneven, but some of the stories are poignant and the acting always compelling
February 27, 2008
Inevitably it's a mixed bag, though the film's assurance in keeping it all coherent is at times exhilarating.

From the exhilarating opening, you know Altman's epic 'adaptation' of eight stories and a poem by Raymond Carver is going to be special.

We are never made to care much about the afflicted characters because Altman doesn't and thereby the stories carry very little weight.

It's a funny/scary vision, with a manic edge -- which is why, when you come down from the high of the filmmaking, you may be left with the taste of ashes in your mouth. Altman's artistry can make you happy even when his art offers cold comfort.

Performances are low key but accomplished, comedy and tragedy are delicately balanced and the whole thing has the feel of a sprawling but very absorbing soap.

The lives are often desperate and the characters inarticulate, but the group portrait is as grandly, sometimes as hilariously, realized as anything the director has ever done.

Cool, clever and complex, Altman succeeds in bringing out the best from a highly talented cast.

As the grand ringmaster, it's here that Altman passes the baton to his actors , whose behavioral insights are critical to the film's success.

Triumphantly fierce, funny, moving and innovative.
