Synopsis

Intricately moving back and forth in time and revealing the story from each character's perspective, Wicker Park is an intense psychological drama about a man (Josh Hartnett) caught in an obsessive search for a woman he fell deeply in love with - a woman who then vanished without a trace. Two years after her disappearance, he catches a fleeting glimpse of her in a local bar and begins a twisting search to find her and discover what really happened.

Critics' reviews

"There are some striking visuals and Hartnett is a magnetic presence."

J.R. Jones: Chicago Reader
"May have been adapted the 1996 French film "L'Appartement," but pretty much all evidence of what was once an engaging psychodrama has been lost in the translation."

Michael Rechtshaffen: The Hollywood Reporter
"All of this was more enjoyable when Bellucci, Cassel and Bohringer were the stars. Hartnett is overly methodical here as Matthew, and Kruger, as in "Troy," is beautiful but lacking in dramatic intensity."

Scott Foundas: Variety
"An elegant tale of romantic obsession weighed down by a needlessly convoluted plot that yields far more confusion than psychological suspense"

Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
"It would be tempting to say that fractured time sequences in movies have become a cliché, except that Wicker Park makes your brain spin in surprising and pleasurable ways."

Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly
"Built on such a goofy premise that your average soap-opera scriptwriter would laugh it out of a story meeting."
