3 stars out of 5 -- "So far, Ferrell has only hinted at his capacity for dramatic acting but he proves he's a natural here. His performance is introspective and subdued, even in witty moments."Box Office "[Ferrell] upends expectations from the very first scene....Like Bill Murray and Greg Kinnear before him, this funnyman reveals serious acting chops." -- Grade: B-Entertainment Weekly "[With Ferrell] in his most emotionally naked performance yet....There are tiny gems contributed by Laura Dern as the long-lost high school crush...and Stephen Root as a prickly neighbor..."Los Angeles Times 3 stars out of 4 -- "Will Ferrell is a gifted dramatic actor....Ferrell plays Nick straight from the shoulderChicago Sun-Times 3 stars out of 4 -- "As he did in STRANGER THAN FICTION, Ferrell displays surprising range when he ratchets down the volume....An utterly restrained portrait of a man hoping to sell of his worldly goods along with his past."USA Today "Mr. Rush extrapolates a narrative that is less jarring and more familiar than Carver, but nonetheless true to the writer's tough, compassionate and intimately knowing apprehension of masculine defeat. Mr. Ferrell turns out to be an almost perfect embodiment of this theme."New York Times 3 stars out of 4 -- "Rush keeps his film rigorously unsentimental, but Ferrell opens a wound and makes it impossible for us to ignore it."Rolling Stone0.2817929

"...[The film] delivers the comic goods....Murray's sublimely disdainful stare and flat vocal delivery remain a joy..." Sight and Sound "...The light comic wit of QUICK CHANGE has a lovely presence....The comedy of QUICK CHANGE is city-dweller humor, honed to a fine edge..." Los Angeles Times "QUICK CHANGE is a crisp, efficient and subtly subversive film that makes you wish Mr. Murray would get back in the driver's seat..." New York Times11.31014

Co-stars Polly Harvey and Kylie Minogue..."New York Times (Publisher) (2/11/96, Sec.2, p.30) - "...MURDER BALLADS is about more than storytelling.

"MOUTH TO MOUTH is not billed as a Dogma film, but the aesthetic overlaps with the movement are evident. Shot mostly on handheld camera with natural light, MOUTH TO MOUTH has a raw immediacy and a grimy, gritty feel."Sight and Sound10.56878
