The Brass Teapot Reviews

Movie Reviews

• this dark comedy's clever premise is too thin to sustain its feature-length running time

  by Frank Scheck [Hollywood Reporter ]

• the film feels like its over long before the credits roll-or perhaps that's just wishful thinking

  by Sam Adams [Time Out New York ]

• the Brass Teapot is more like a dark flirtation with the American nightmare that backfires

  by Rex Reed [New York Observer ]

• Ms. Mosley, who directed from a screenplay by Tim Macy, struggles to fill her debut feature with a slender notion, but the premise defeats her, even if the story operates at the outset on the pleasure principle

  by Joe Morgenstern [Wall Street Journal ]

• but it's the good-natured Angarano who grounds a movie light enough to float away

  by Elizabeth Weitzman [New York Daily News ]

• "The Brass Teapot" ultimately feels like an interminably stretched-out skit rather than a storybook lesson stained with blood and hurt
