Review of Birthday Girl (2001)

Completely predictable from beginning to end, but Nicole Kidman brings the goods…

Review of Birthday Girl (2001)

By Joe Leydon (915) for San Francisco Examiner (1,621) on 03 Feb 2002

Birthday Girl may be intended as a romantic thriller, but it is sorely lacking in romance and thrills…

Review of Birthday Girl (2001)

By Michael Dequina (1,684) for TheMovieReport.com (1,582) on 03 Feb 2002

A pleasant and engaging enough sit, but in trying to have the best of both worlds it ends up falling short as a whole…

Review of Birthday Girl (2001)

By Staci Layne Wilson (667) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 01 Feb 2002

If you ever wanted to see Nicole Kidman buck naked and tied to the bedposts, then Birthday Girl is your gift…

Review of Birthday Girl (2001)

By Mike Clark (1,024) for USA Today (4,117) on 01 Feb 2002

The actress may get an Oscar nomination for the wrong movie -- Moulin Rouge over The Others -- but it would be a double misfortune for audiences…

Review of Birthday Girl (2001)

By Peter Howell (1,731) for Toronto Star (3,601) on 01 Feb 2002

Kidman is really the only thing that's worth watching in Birthday Girl, a film by the stage-trained Jez Butterworth (Mojo) that serves as yet…

Review of Birthday Girl (2001)

By David Elliott (754) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 01 Feb 2002

It's the cute frissons of discovery and humor between Chaplin and Kidman that keep this nicely wound clock not just ticking, but humming…

Review of Birthday Girl (2001)

By Gene Seymour (406) for Newsday (2,345) on 01 Feb 2002

Given a smaller frame and literally darker shades to work with than she's accustomed to, Kidman is friskier, livelier and arguably more engaging…

Review of Birthday Girl (2001)

By David Levine (71) for Filmcritic.com (3,164) on 01 Feb 2002

Neither Chaplin's character nor the movie itself bear the slightest amount of common sense…

Review of Birthday Girl (2001)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 01 Feb 2002

A curious film: for a purported comedy-thriller, it's not very funny, and it generates remarkably little suspense...Mostly it's a shambling bore…

Review of Birthday Girl (2001)

By Jeff Vice (1,455) for Deseret News (Salt Lake City) (1) on 01 Feb 2002

One of those all-too-rare instances where the film would have been in better hands if it had been produced by a major Hollywood studio instead…

Review of Birthday Girl (2001)

By Ellen Kim (17) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 31 Jan 2002

Birthday Girl conspicuously shifts between a semiromance, semicomedy and semicrime thriller, which dilutes the best of its parts and results…

Review of Birthday Girl (2001)

By Scott Weinberg (1,998) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 31 Jan 2002

While Birthday Girl isn't likely to rank among 2002's most memorable films, there's more than enough entertainment here to warrant a visit…

Review of Birthday Girl (2001)

By Steve Schneider (315) for Orlando Weekly (1,048) on 31 Jan 2002

[W]ith director/co-writer Jez Butterworth (Mojo) so determined to craft a romance and a thriller that he abandons logic…

Review of Birthday Girl (2001)

By Philip Wuntch (283) for Dallas Morning News (1,592) on 31 Jan 2002

The creators of Birthday Girl could optimistically advertise that they give viewers two movies for the price of one…

By Eleanor Ringel Cater (614) for Atlanta Journal-Constitution (910) on 30 Jan 2002

Nicole Kidman makes it a party worth attending…

Review of Birthday Girl (2001)

By Walter Chaw (1,360) for Film Freak Central (1,643) on 29 Jan 2002

Memorable for a peculiar malaise that renders its tension flaccid and, by extension, its surprises limp and its resolutions ritual…

Review of Birthday Girl (2001)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 27 Jan 2002

The romantic comedy doesn't have much, but it has Kidman…

Review of Birthday Girl (2001)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 18 Jan 2002
