Intermission Reviews |
"Intermission" eventually does slam into the ground — nothing with this many different environments could stay in the lower stratosphere for so long. But even the climactic explosion of "Intermission" becomes part of the whole — the crashing and burning were anticipated and provide a lovely, toasty light. [read review]
--ELVIS MITCHELL (The New York Times)
Intermission" is a well-crafted film with strong performances all around, but it's also mean-spirited, particularly in its treatment of its women, who are abused and mocked in their despair. The film's violence, while realistic, is also gratuitous, and its characterization, more often than not, skimpy and trite. There's talent behind the camera, but the story leaves a lot to be desired. [read review] 
--Shlomo Schwartzberg (Boxoffice Magazine)
I found it languid and boring with no real main plot - just a bunch of subplots twisted together including one purporting to be the "main one" that followed a loser trying to get back with a girl he didn't deserve. ...At the end of the day, I found it hard to give a rat's ass about the movie. It has a handful of interesting moments, but it's mainly just self-important pretense – an attempt to be all hardcore that really rings false nine ways to Tuesday. [read review] 3.5/10
-- (CHUD.com)
"Intermission" is torqued to an almost shrill maximum, with violence, crime, comedy, tragedy and romance flying at you like a fusillade of sparks. It's as if Irish filmmakers Mark O'Rowe and John Crowley are determined to rattle the most jaded minds and shortest attention spans in the audience. [read review]
--Desson Thomson (Washington Post)
The director John Crowley uses the warm rapport of ensemble acting to take the jaggedness out of the rough-and-tumble vivacity of digital-video moviemaking. A result is the dry-roasted and altogether compelling Irish comedy-drama ''Intermission.'' [read review]
--Elvis Mitchell (The New York Times)
"Intermission" is a black comedy that some viewers may take as an assault. The disconnect between the realism of its violence and the near-slapstick tone of some of its comedy is too much to be framed within one movie. [read review] 
--Jack Mathews (New York Daily News)
A well-acted, ambitiously plotted directorial debut which will leave you with a big smile. If all romantic comedies had this much cynicism, violence and raw energy, there would be hope for the genre. [read review] 7/10
--Anton Bitel (Movie Gazette)
By turns funny, shocking and moving, Intermission is an extremely enjoyable comedy drama with great performances from its ensemble cast. [read review] 
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
Fast-paced, hilarious and completely convinced by its own Blarney, this is Ireland's best export since, well, Colin Farrell. [read review] 
--Jamie Russell (BBC Films)
