Simone ~ A witty, thought-provoking satire

Date of Review:  Aug 24, 2002
The Bottom Line: An entertaining, witty film that deals with thought-provoking subjects.
Review: I was unsure of whether I was fortunate or unlucky when I won sneak preview passes for Simone. I had heard almost nothing about the movie -?Al Pacino stars, Simone is probably short for SIMulation ONE, Simone is murdered(?) in the film, and...

Virtual, Smirtual - Andrew Niccol's limp Simone

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2003
The Bottom Line: steer clear.
Review: Honestly, the mostly positive reviews of Simone I've been reading around here - from people whose opinions and writing abilities I generally trust - really confuses me. True, I saw the film on DVD, so maybe it was more impressive on the big screen,...

I Am The Death of Real: S1m0ne

Date of Review:  Mar 1, 2006
The Bottom Line: Simone says!
Review: Oh, fakery. How we adore thee. Simone is a movie all about the wide wide world of fakery, and the people who fall captive to it every day of their lives.

It's hard to tell sometimes, when you have a movie about fakery, just how fake the...

Simone - A Little of Madonna, A Bit of Audrey, A Dash of Sophia

Date of Review:  Aug 23, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you liked The Truman Show, you'll probably like this one.
Review: How many times have you dashed on over to The Smoking Gun to read of all of the demands that actors/actresses and pop/rock stars make just to do their craft? You know, there's the Van Halen thing of not having any brown M&M's and the idea that J.Lo...

Simone: "Excuse Me, I Seem To Have Come Down With The Plague."

Date of Review:  Aug 24, 2002
The Bottom Line: 2.5 rounded up to three. A solidly average film in all repects.
Review: The idea of a virtual idol certainly has progressed a long way, hasn't it? The first time I remember it being addressed in a major way, it was in the form of Sharon Apple, virtual antagonist from the animated movie Macross Plus.

Then came...

1s Th1s The Future 0f H0llyw00d?

Date of Review:  Feb 24, 2003
The Bottom Line: In a world where almost everything we see not with our own eyes is digitally enhanced - could our actors one day be bits of 1's and 0's?
Review: In Gattaca, Andrew Niccol took us on a vision of what the future could be like with advances in DNA sequencing. With The Truman Show, he took us on a vision of what the future could be like for reality TV. And, once again, with S1m0ne, he takes us...

'S1m0ne' is the real deal

Date of Review:  Aug 29, 2002
The Bottom Line: A smart and savvy satire of celebrity.
Review: On paper, S1m0ne has many things going against it. After logging considerable time on the studio shelf (it bears an unadjusted 2001 copyright) New Line has given the film a minimally-promoted dead-of-August release date, which doesn't exactly set...

Satire on Simmer

Date of Review:  Oct 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: You've seen this movie already. Go see what's on cable.
Review: "Paul is Dead."
--Apocryphal comment, A Day in the Life,
the Beatles' Abbey Road, September 26, 1969

There's a scene in this film, early on, that turns its satire upon itself. Viktor Taransky (Al Pacino) has just lost his...

If You Don't By Cubic Zirconium On QVC, Don't Buy It Here Either

Date of Review:  Aug 24, 2002
The Bottom Line: Al Pacino direly miscast in a film that ends up celebrating media manipulation blindly rather than truthfully and honestly examining.
Review: A falsehood from start to finish, "Simone's" sorriest faultlines lie in, well, Simone the character.

The film begins sweetly. Al Pacino as nebbishy never-has-been director Viktor Taransky, who pines for the days when directors were kings...

Somewhat Stilted, But Generally Enjoyable

Date of Review:  Aug 27, 2002
The Bottom Line: This movie had definite potential. But the follow-through was very poor. While it is enjoyable as a whole, you're left feeling like it could've been so much better.
Review: Simone is a movie about "ideals." The main character Viktor Taransky (subtly portrayed by Pacino) is a little known director who seems almost obsessed with higher morals and concepts. Taransky is dedicated to the idea of the "ideal" actor, one who...
