“..Stuffed with references to old movies and insider lore about life on a movie set, much of "Slipstream" feels like a loosely connected series of jokes..”
by Stephen Holden [NY Times]
Review rate : B+

“..If you're at all into these types of films, Slipstream is worth checking out..”

“..If not exactly dull, Hopkins' stream-of-consciousness rant is nonetheless self-indulgent and crammed with bits of business that never add up to anything much..”
by Maitland McDonagh [TV Guide]
2 of 4

“..a lunatic paroxysm of stylistic excess, peripheral ideas, and disconnected scenes..”
by Ed Gonzalez [Slant Magazine]
3.5 of 5

“..a carefully orchestrated madness that has its own logic..”

The reviewer/blurb writer here at aceshowbiz could use a vocabulary refresher... "Stream of consensus" is a non-existent termm... maybe he meant "Stream of consciousness"??? I shudder to think of the other errors he/she probably has peppered throughout your website if that monster error slipped thru.... Oh well...
