An Imperfect Murder

2017

Sienna Miller, Alec Baldwin, Charles Grodin, Colleen Camp ...

Drama Vera (Sienna Miller), a famous New York actress, lets his punk criminal ex-boyfriend (Nick Matthews) into her apartment. He attacks her, and the two draw close, his gun right there in between them.

	Media	Author	Review
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"As long as the movie sticks to its central incident, it exerts a sticky pull (...) It spends too much time telling us things that it should be showing us."
		Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"A small but weighty film that general audiences might find either too self-serious (...) or not provocative enough (...) Toback makes the payoff moments at the end feel just right."
		Xan Brooks The Guardian	"Toback’s film is defiantly rough-edged and loose, still wet from workshopping; a trail of half-formed ideas (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Robbie Collin Telegraph	"A pompous chore (…) So toenail-tweakingly pleased with itself, and so replete with pseud-ish posturing, that by the end it feels as if the whole thing must have been playing at quarter-speed (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"There’s a good deal in this movie that’s awkward, but I was also impressed by the earnestness of its various inquiries, and the latitude given to Miller"
		Jonathan Romney Screendaily	"A hit-and-miss piece with some fine performances, much self-indulgence, sometimes excruciatingly literary dialogue, and a strong, emotionally nuanced central turn from Sienna Miller"
