And, no, he would NOT have liked this movie. Most people obviously didn't. My sides ached. I know most people didn't "get" it. Look at the mess of categories it is in. You cannot pigeonhole this movie. It is an... Full review

The Trixie character is very original and inviting. Her story is amazing and touching. The verbal battle between Trixie and the Senator is complex beauty. Every performance is great by the the well casted. I found Trixie to be a... Full review

Ok - I have to admit....this movie was painful. Just painful to sit there and take all those mixed metaphors like punches to the head. BUT...I stumbled across this movie on a Sunday afternoon. Never heard of it..no expectations, etc.... Full review

While the movie was flawed in some ways (never quite believed the connection between Trixie & Dex, for example), I found it engaging in many ways. Ms. Watson is certainly a versatile actress, and her Trixie is a marked departure... Full review

Good movie. Odd, off balance, imaginative, agitating - everything that an ultra-passive braincell-hybernating spoonfed-explosion stale-cool critics-approved movie pencil-envies. My opinion.... Full review

There seem to be two major demographics that film audiences fall into. The commercially reliable, and the more risky arthouse, or as Trixie would say, "but I see it the other way". "Trixie" falls into the arthouse, with its star,... Full review

Brilliant mixed metaphors, fabulous dialogue. I can see how someone may not like it if they don't get or don't like word play, but if you like a good turn of phrase I highly recommend it! Huzzah for John Binder,... Full review

"Trixie" the movie, and Trixie the character are both difficult to peg. Alan Rudolph is one of my favorite directors, with "Choose Me" being a hidden treasure that everyone should discover. However, the muddled plot and underdeveloped characters make this... Full review

I had heard that the malapropism of Emily Watson's character would begin to wear after a while. Not for me, it was like watching a seriously deadpan Gracie Allen at work.The key to the film (which covers some of the... Full review

Emily Watson is a charmer: she's completely naive and innocent, but then again she's not so naive, and maybe not so innocent. She seems to understand nothing, but then she's the only one who understands it all.Watson's tour-de-force is in... Full review

This is a really smart comedy about complete morons.....I was also surprised by how much I loved this film and I highly recommend it.....Emily Watson is a lovable idiot in the vein of Forest Gump and I was charmed by her performance..... ... Full Review

not because of brilliant editing.....The supporting cast does an admirable job with the rather lackluster script.....Unfortunately, the efforts or talents of the director, Alan Rudolph, do not match those of the performers..... ... Full Review

So here we've got a film in which the main character, Trixie, has no basic grammatical skills and has a fifth-grade education. I'm drawn to language somehow, I don't know why, even though I've been accused of writing unrealistic dialogue and whatnot. ... Full Review

Unfortunately, ambition in a doll like Trixie just doesn't fit, and the ride she takes us on is pure fantasyland. The character is sympathetic but a bit too spacey for the sustained bonding that Alan Rudolph, director and co-writer, and John Binder, writer, undoubtedly wished for. ... Full Review

But the movie's problems lie deeper than a ho-hum plot.....The protagonist of every classic thriller is, in some way or another, a Holy Fool..... ... Full Review

Clocking in at just six minutes short of two hours, "Trixie" is too much of a good thing.Trixie's malapropisms are laid on so thick you begin wondering if she is suffering from some disorder. ... Full Article

After ``Trixie,'' it might be time for Alan Rudolph's friends to do an intervention. His new picture is so heedless of what constitutes entertainment, and yet so steeped in the conventions of what we've come to expect from ``An Alan... ... Full Article

On a scale of adorability, Emily Watson is right up there with the cuddliest. Maybe it's that round face with dimpled chin. So adorable is she that even this sad attempt at comedy didn't spoil the experience of being in... ... Full Article
