This was a great movie but, take your time, pay attention, and open up your mind! This movie is very well written & directed. The acting is absolutely superfluous. I would recomend this movie to those who enjoy the complexities of... Full review
A Bit Pretentious and Not Much of a Mystery, but Remarkably Accurate and Worth Thinking About

Be forewarned... this entire review is a spoiler. It should probably be read AFTER, you've seen this movie. A Bit Pretentious... Slipstream jams as many postmodern cinematographic clichés as possible into a relatively small package - and throughout the film we... Full review

What a muddled mess. I saw this with a friend a while ago and we both consider ourselves open-minded to the many wonders of cinema, but this sure isn't one of them. While there very well could be some good ideas/concepts... Full review

I never review movies but seeing this film with an average of a C- is just wrong. So I had to add my two cents. Which is more than the movie is worth. I am actually surprised this got the green... Full review

There is no coherent story here, so don't expect one. This film is to storytelling as abstract art is to portraiture - as a viewer, you may feel and guess at what the director's trying to say, but most of... Full review

This movie is like watching 5 movie trailers clipped together and then watching them on x4 fast forward. No character or storyline development makes you just sit and stare wondering why in the world anybody would put this together. One scene... Full review

Anthony Hopkins writes, directs,scores and stars in a movie that is like the bastard child of David Lynch and Peter Greenaway. Its a film that operates on a visceral level and is akin to being trapped in someones head (which... Full review

There are many moments of creativity in the film and Hopkins has fashioned a great film for those looking for something different.
Slipstream is a dreamlike contribution from Anthony Hopkins who proves that even in dreams that you can find inspiration and make an interesting film from the land of slumber.

In its final form, the film is a bold-faced challenge to the prevailing wisdom about storytelling.
Hopkins, who turns 70 this year, has a disarmingly sweet, almost puckish charm.

He says that with "Slipstream" he just wanted to have fun, and there is a cheerful, devil-may-care feeling throughout.
Whether Hopkins' film is meant as a death dream, the internal ravings of a diseased brain or simply as a whimsical puzzle is nearly impossible to tell.
