The film is successful in an absorbing sort of way, but underwhelming.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh

Tykwer's script is structured so that the audience knows more about the characters' connections than they do. As each faces a midlife crisis/turning point, fate sometimes appears to be calling the shots.

John Hartl, Seattle Times
Rotten

Tykwer can't seem to turn Hanna, Simon and Adam into real people. They feel like pawns in the service of a more cerebral diversion than the game of life.

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Fresh

It's a funny, fearless, suspenseful sex comedy that, in drawing on science and philosophy and art and death, risks accusations of pretentiousness.

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Rotten

Despite its fascinating and humorous moments, one can't help but be frustrated when at times it switches away to spiritual pretentiousness.

Leba Hertz, San Francisco Chronicle
