Thought provoking and romantic with a twist of sci-fi. It doesn't get better than this. This movie will greatly appeal to those who are slightly out of touch with reality. Other reviewers have mentioned that the movie was difficult to follow... Full review

Adrien Brody fails to hit all the right notes, but is constantly watchable....while Jennifer Jason Leigh and, in particular, Keira Knightly both deliver memorable turns.....Much like Eddie McGuire, the script simply isn't as smart as it thinks it is"¦ Despite its flaws, The Jacket does hook you on its mystery..... ...

PopMatters
It is a ravishing film, at once precise, evocative, and impressionistic. "For my research for this film, says director John Maybury in the short documentary, The Look of The Jacket , I watched a lot of old silent films, especially Eric von Stroheims stuff, just cause he was doing experimental stuff in the teens and 20s, that still havent been resolved. ...
