Critics Consensus

Implausible coincidences and an overly convoluted structure make the movie hard to follow or believe.

1/5

The four main characters are all odd, sad and lonely. No wonder they don't call each other on their cells to straighten things out -- they're all too depressed to dial.

Wicker Park is one of those maddening movies in which the characters do incredibly stupid things simply for the sake of plot contrivance, and everyone's problems would be solved if they simply picked up their cell phones.

1/5

A quite extraordinarily boring psychological drama of obsession, impersonation and mistaken identity.

Both bland and slightly daft.

2/5

Tortuously twisting in on itself, Wicker Park keeps you guessing as it keeps its central pair apart. But it's scuppered by a plodding obviousness that's underlined by a sledgehammer soundtrack.

This movie would have been more believable had it occurred 10 years prior when cell phones weren't as common. Most of the conflicts and misunderstandings could have been cleared up by a simple phone call. This movie really wasn't believable for that reason.

Given the number of negative reviews this received, you'd be forgiven for thinking that this has no positives to speak of. That is just not the case. Yes, it's convoluted and confusing, with its jumps in time and perspective, and there are implausible coincidences to try and force the story to in the direction it needs to go, but it's full of innovative visuals and charismatic performances that make it watchable if not riveting.

Not so bad, plays like a slow-moving, foggy dream. Interesting at least.

I saw this movie was on HBO or something of the sort and had never heard of it. It's kind of like some Kevin Costner movies- you never heard anything about it, but when you watch it, it's surprisingly good. It gets a little confusing, because there are flashbacks involved. I liked it a lot and thought it was a solid suspense movie...
