If you understand who the characters are and what they're supposed to represent, the performances are right on the money.

Wang is working on your mind, not your body.

Where Mike Figgis' film, with Nicolas Cage and Elisabeth Shue, bore deeply and darkly into emotional territory, The Center of the World turns out to be just as fake as its setting.
50
All Center of the World has is the double entendre of its title, some unremarkable dramatic and sex scenes, and some embarrassing moments for its very game co-stars.
40
Offers nothing but tired "Red Shoe" Diaries-style sexploitation for the art-house crowd.
30
The dance he (Wang) ended up with is on the wrong lap.
20
All this sadness becomes so depressing to watch, testing the limits of the patience of even a viewer prepared to take Wang's underlying concerns seriously.
