A heady yet disciplined work, a dazzling fable of love, destiny and redemption.
80
Eminently stylish, visually striking romantic thriller.
75
An unpredictable, mythic tale about haunted outcasts that is both dazzling and disquieting.
75
It's dreary and self-indulgent but has its crystalline moments.
63
Nowhere near as dynamic as the title implies. It's hard not to think of it as ''Sleepwalk Lola Sleepwalk.''
50
Tykwer may want meaning to go with his special effects, but the problem with his filmmaking, both here and earlier, is that he's more interested in his own bag of tricks than in actually saying something.
30
Throughout, Tykwer reaches for mysteries he has no idea how to evoke, relying instead on his actors' empty stares.

I don't understand Tom Tykwer. He makes two kinds of movies: rippers (Winter-sleepers, Heaven) and stinkers. this is one of the latter. This has the same adolescent fantasy plot devices as Run, Lola, Run, but that film was more of a festival / music video peice of fun. Franka Potente is great as ever, but this meandering mess cannot be saved.

Nice cinematography, some good actors, but simply one of the worst screenplays ever written by a man or a woman. It's just childish fluff, that tries to appear as high-art. Some actors are miscast and the whole thing is much too long. Don't expect "Run, Lola, Run". This is boring and ridiculous.
