Review of The Identical (2014)

By Neil Pond (477) for American Profile (252) on 03 Sep 2014

A bland, edge-less, Elvis-tinged parable, with nothing to offend, shock or rub even the most sensitive of sensibilities the wrong way-like…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By Stephen Silver (684) for EntertainmentTell (372) on 03 Sep 2014

The weirdest thing about The Identical is that while it's undoubtedly a religious picture, it seems more interested in the legend of Elvis…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By Walter V. Addiego (363) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 03 Sep 2014

The filmmakers use such a straight-laced and schmaltzy approach that The Identical might as well be a Hallmark TV movie…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By Jon Niccum (520) for Kansas City Star (1,573) on 03 Sep 2014

It might join Xanadu and Cool as Ice in the campy pantheon of all-time worst musical mishaps…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 03 Sep 2014

As both Drexel and Ryan, Blake Rayne (once an Elvis impersonator in real life) is earnest and appealing, but it takes more than just looking…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 03 Sep 2014

Playing the title role as well as the Dream role, real-life Elvis tribute artist Blake Rayne is more convincing when he's singing than when…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By Kate Erbland (681) for Film.com (1,892) on 03 Sep 2014

The music-heavy second half doesn't zip with much pizzazz, and even the film's many dips into song-and-dance fail to keep it moving along with…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By Ben Sachs (546) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 03 Sep 2014

[The Identical] feels like one of the biopic parodies from Mr. Show played completely straight…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for Times-Picayune (642) on 03 Sep 2014

This is an alternate-history rock 'n' roll saga. It is not Elvis, but Elvis-ish…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By John Hartl (735) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 03 Sep 2014

It's not very good, but it's certainly a curiosity…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 02 Sep 2014

It’s the kind of curio that’s arguably more interesting to think about than to watch — a plodding melodrama that mixes royalty-free Elvis…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By William Goss (413) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 02 Sep 2014

Evidently made with deep pockets but muddled intentions, The Identical is a folly largely unworthy of its hidden idol…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By Jordan Hoffman (1,025) for Guardian (4,584) on 02 Sep 2014

The corn in The Identical is as tall as an elephant’s eye – but there’s nothing that says the story of a man torn between his religious…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By Kyle Smith (1,916) for New York Post (6,650) on 02 Sep 2014

When the legend of Elvis is reimagined as a mushy Christian heartwarmer in The Identical, it’s as if “Boogie Nights” is playing in the…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Tribune News Service (1,102) on 02 Sep 2014

A musical mashup of Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis biography and myth, The Identical plays like a failed faith-based “Inside Llewyn Davis.”…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By Joe Leydon (915) for Variety (12,700) on 01 Sep 2014

All things considered, The Identical might have worked better as a TV miniseries, a format that would allowed the filmmakers to give equal…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By Justin Lowe (291) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 01 Sep 2014

This passably palatable film never hits any real high notes…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By Tim Grierson (1,482) for Screen International (2,241) on 31 Aug 2014

A rigorous earnestness drains the life out of The Identical, a potentially intriguing exploration of identity and nature-versus-nurture debates…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By Cole Smithey (1,865) for ColeSmithey.com (1,853) on 31 Aug 2014

[VIDEO ESSAY] A shoo-in for a spot on any worst movies of 2014 list, this poorly constructed slice of propaganda, courtesy of the Messianic…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 29 Aug 2014

The film's so preoccupied with being inspirational that it disastrously fails to evoke the allure of rock n' roll, particularly in America…
