- 67The PlaylistJessica KiangThe PlaylistJessica KiangA film of surface pleasures, even joys, but those joys seem to be longing for a central idea around which to coalesce.
- 40Time OutJoshua RothkopfTime OutJoshua RothkopfFellini used to get away with such slender crises, but he had Marcello Mastrioanni behind the shades, as well as a more vivid penchant for psychosexual fantasy. Coppola and Swan are stuck in their obsessions with dorky album art and old-man cocktails at Musso & Frank. A precious, arid thing, Glimpse arrives pinned to Styrofoam like a prize arthropod.
- 40Village VoiceNick PinkertonVillage VoiceNick PinkertonWith neither the moral bite of satire nor a voluptuary surrender that really basks in shallowness, this is a vague, unsatisfying work.
- With such an in-house cast of extended Coppola family sparklers, one would think things couldn’t go too wrong in the comedy department, but they have little chance to oil the wheels of a creaky script written around Sheen.
- 25Slant MagazineAndrew SchenkerSlant MagazineAndrew SchenkerThe film speeds ahead with almost gleeful disinterest in dealing with the narrative challenges it sets up before resolving them in the most perfunctory ways imaginable.
- 20SalonAndrew O'HehirSalonAndrew O'HehirSeriously, this is one of the strangest and most painful films in recent memory.
- 20New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierNew York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierSwan is so eager to be a trippy comic lark that it ends up resembling a clown trying to fit through a pea-shooter.
- 0The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe A.V. ClubNathan RabinIt isn’t a movie so much as a feature-length perfume commercial for a Charlie Sheen signature cologne with gorgeous packaging and absolutely nothing inside.
